July 1, 2018 - Laufás Turf House in Eyjafjörður, Iceland.
"Laufás turf farm is a former vicarage, a dwelling house, situated in the densely populated coastal farmland of Eyjafjörður in northern Iceland. The farmstead was modernized in the 20th century with new dwelling houses and stables and is still an inhabited vicarage. The old farm is a part of the National Museum's Historic Buildings Collection and is managed by the Akureyri Museum. The main thoroughfare in the area has long passed near Laufás and still does. Laufás has been one of the better beneficia with many perquisites and is mentioned several times in the medieval Saga literature. The earliest written sources reveal that a church fire took place there in late 12th century .
Laufás counts 12 houses and the whole complex is around 29 m long and 28 m wide. Most of the farmstead is constructed in the period from 1840-1877, but the origin of the farm is older. Five gables face the yard to the west, forming a gabled farmhouse. To the north is the living room, then entrance, hall (skáli), eider down house (dúnhús) and storage. The entrance gives access to a passageway that connect the other houses; bridal house (brúðarhús), hearth kitchen, pantry and small living room, with a two storey baðstofa at the other end. Both the upper and lower floors of the baðstofa house are divided into three rooms. To the south of the farmstead is Laufás church within a cemetery. The outhouses are no longer standing.
The lower part of the turf walls are made from stone and strengur, but the upper part from turf, klömbruhnaus, kvíahnaus, strengur and snidda, with all the rooftops covered in turf. The gables are from timber. The living rooms, entrance, bridal house and the entire baðstofa house have panelled interior walls and wooden floors. The rest of the houses have visible turf walls and earth floor. Remnants of a stave construction are present in the passageway, which testifies to the farm's old origins. Part of the farm was built from reused timbers.
Laufás represents a large turf house, built in the northern tradition, where a mixed building technique has been employed." Previous text from UNESCO World Heritage Site:

The approach light towers for runway 6 at ROA run through what was once the Countryside Muninciple Golf Course, and then cross Thirlane Road and I-581. I took this shot just because there was a jet making a contrail towards the lights, but with the lack of really good resolving power, it doesn't show up well. I also had to remove a large dust particle from the image.

This was an experiment to try and use existing light from a campfire. However even at ISO 1600 I just couldn't get a good picture. The shutter was staying open too long with my 17-85EFS lens. Luckily I had a 50mm 1.8 lens that I was able to change out for and took this one and only shot moments before the ceremony had to start.
The busway track - the longest in the world - is made up of two concrete beams with kerbs and guide wheels on the bus connect with the kerb and run along it to steer the bus. Stagecoach and Whippet are the two bus companies running services for the busway.

About The Series: The focal press guides, usually but not always written by the indefatigable W. D. Emanuel are a treasure trove for collectors of cameras. Not for the sections on how to use individual cameras (which do, however contain a great deal of good sense) but for the descriptions of different models. They are the first source to go to if you want to know the difference between (for example) an Ensign Selfix 16/20 Model I and an Ensign Selfix Model II or how many elements the Trinar lens in your Regula camera has

Help! :-)
These graphs are from three separate nights of guiding. After the first night I thought that balance was the issue but I’m sure I’m well balanced now and the declination is still all over the place.
Apart from increasing PHD's capture timing the settings are all default. Anything I can try there? I’m guiding a 150p (750mm focal length) with Orion 50mm finder.
They were all still nights, no wind, although surely that would have also had an affect of the RA?
Last night’s guiding started off really well for 20 mins or so before it suddenly went mad. Any ideas that I can try to work out what’s causing this?
