Tonight's moon. I think I did better than last night. I think the delayed exposure definitely made a difference.

Yesterday’s 11 miler on Dartmoor…….I love living in Gods county! 
One word……..AWESOME!Tonight's moon. I think I did better than last night. I think the delayed exposure definitely made a difference.
Never knew it extended all the way up to Yorkshire!
Nice pics though, can't beat it out there on a crisp but sunny morning. All the troubles of the world just fall away.
Yeah, but those that know……..Just know!Never knew it extended all the way up to Yorkshire!

A couple of squirrels eating on top of the shelter yesterday.
Lovely morning to swing an axe for an hour or so. 
Wandering through the marshes this evening.
I photographed the Orion Nebula last night. Taking into consideration I took this from my home in Pontypridd, and there was a full moon, and I'm brand new to this, and I don't have any dedicated astrophotography equipment, I'm really happy with the outcome. The first photo is a single image and the second is 15 photos stacked (my first time I ever used stacking software).

Have you spotted Andromeda yet?

The moon is worth a try tonight. First blood moon of the year, should be clear skies, the moon is above the horizon all night, with Jupiter, Castor and Pollux right next to it. Practically due East at 21h.
Yes! Here is the Andromeda galaxy! I think it's much bigger than what you can see in this photo, which is likely just the core, but with being in Pontypridd, and a very bright moon, I don't suppose I'll see much more, but nonetheless, I appreciate it's immense beauty in know that it's another galaxy 2.5million lightyears away that I'm looking at.
We've been having beautifully clear skies, and my garden points South East, so I get an amazing view of the moon all night.
I do actually prefer a partial moon because the shadows cast at the terminator bring out all the detail in the craters.
Jupiter is one of my favourite things to observe at the moment but there was too much glare from the moon last night. I'm finding it really difficult to get a good photo of Jupiter and it's moons. If I expose for the moons, Jupiter is blown out and if I expose for Jupiter, the moons are not visible. I will try stacking some photos of Jupiter.
I still find it mind blowing that the photons hitting your eyeball when you look at some of these stars/systems, started their journey in times so ancient that we can barely imagine it.Yes!

Thats a rude way to ask my brain to wake up on a Sunday morning.
Like you say - mind blowing.
I was playing with a torch lens and cramp balls today
This was from last night, it was the clearest night looking through the telescope that I have seen so far. There was almost no noticeable atmosphere turbulence. The amount of detail I could see in the moon was mind blowing. This photo was me holding my old smart phone up to the eyepiece. It was even better looking through the eyepiece.
Those two bigger craters you can see, with centre peaks, the ones above and below the monkey face looking craters, I think the one above is named Petavius and is about 180km in diameter, and the one below I think is named Langrenus and is 132km in diameter.
