Summer night

I managed to get a great night of astrophoto stationned on the parking lot of Kynance Cove near The Lizard. Skies were nicely dark on the south as all there is is the atlantic until Spain, which is about 1000km away!

So I spent time imaging objects in Saggitarius and also got a nice shot of NGC253 when it was about 5 degrees above the horizon. This gives you a good idea of how clear the sky was.

Summer fun

We spent the last 2 1/2 weeks exploring the south west of England, namely Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, all the way to its most southern part, Lizard Point.

Lot of fun, great hospitality, black starry nights, fantastic seafood, wet camping, many friends. Well all is captured in pictures here
