Moonlit Morning
Went out for a few photographs before the Sun popped up today, quite enjoyed the long exposures with the clouds moving, would have been nice to have had a clearer view of the hills as well though.
Not sure what caused those two lights in front of the cloud on this last photo, didn’t notice anything when I took them, but then I wasn’t looking up there 
It’s full of stars…
I went out early this morning to look at the stars as they wheeled above Ullswater. It was rather chilly but well worth it in the end.
First of all I looked at Orion jumping over the fells -
Then I looked at the Pleiades and then the Pleiades & Jupiter -
Finally I turned the camera towards Cassiopeia, Perseus and Andromeda -
Here’s a full size segment from this photograph of Andromeda -
It’s hard to imagine that the little fuzzy blur actually contains around one trillion stars, not that I counted them myself you understand.
Another first
Well, another first of the season anyway. Last night (or rather early early this morning) I decided to take a couple of night sky photographs, I was at work so I could not move far (well I could stand at the bottom of the steps at work and still hear the phone ring so that was my range ). Anyway, here’s a couple of night sky shots from Kirkby Stephen signal box, and finally one of the night sky over Kirkby Stephen station.
It’s too light for good photography!
I know, it’s not something you normally hear someone say holding a camera, however it’s how I felt this morning.
