I woke this morning to a sprinkling of snow. It brightened up a very cool walk.
It is wonderful weather, a bit slippery underfoot but still bright, dry and windless. Magic.
I’m hoping the weather will stay like this for the next few days as Comet Pan Starrs is due in the evening sky from tomorrow. I’ll try for a big stacked image of it. Might even go the whole hog and pop in a few light and dark frames. Just which lens to use……I’ll pop out this evening and reconnoitre the job.
Have a good week.
Nice panos. Let me know the comet Pan turns out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria, I hope to get a clear sky.
DeleteGreat images Adrian..Have a nice day/
ReplyDeleteI will do Michelle. Thank you.
DeleteLooked a bit bleak there first thing this morning Adrian?....at least you had some decent sunshine!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get clear skies for the comet photography! I'm looking forward to seeing the images!...[;o)
Trevor, there was no wind so I was out for an hour or more. Beautiful day.
DeleteI hope to get a good evening. I'll have a few goes at it if possible and hope for the best.

Peter, it will have to be an almost cloudless evening. I'll see what I can do.
DeleteBeautiful scenes of Ravenglass. What part of the sky shall we look, I'd really like to see it?
ReplyDeleteBob it will be near the western horizon. just below and to the left a bit of the new moon. This link may help with rough times.

Unless you can get up high then it will need to be a clear night It's about Mag 2 so like Sirius or a bit dimmer.
Bob, here is another link. This takes a few minutes to set up.

I haven't checked but it may be possible to load Pan starrs as a plug in. The programme is free open source and must be set to your location.
Thanks Adrian.
DeleteYour big Bertha will come in handy for the Comet photos. Have fun Adrian. When you get some photos, don't forget to post them.
ReplyDeleteHorst, yes I'll have a go with her...I won't if by some miracle I manage. It looks as if it could be a chilly job.
DeleteI do love the crisp bright light of the snow. That and the distorted warm light of evening are my favourites. One day I'll see snow again.
ReplyDeleteThis was proper snow Graham. Dry and dusty. Not the normal wet horrid stuff we get. There was not much of it.
DeleteYou're not supposed to get snow there now! Good on you for getting out no matter what and taking pictures. I look for ward to your comet shots.
ReplyDeleteRed, it can snow here in June...We don't usually get anything to worry about.
DeleteI'm not wishing for winter but I could do with a bit of cooling right now, might have to try to absorb some of your first scene. Good luck with the comet.
ReplyDeletePauline, this winter has been a non event but is dragging on a bit.
DeleteThanks there were some reasonable pictures of it from New Zealand taken last week. You can't see it now.
