Quick tour of a century-old former Catholic school. The library room still had books in it, though it hadn’t been used as a school for 40 years at this point.
It’s in one of those old industrial cities that lost a third of its population as its industries shrank. Among those moving on were the children of the Polish immigrants who built this parish.
I was able to grab a quick shot of the pre-sunrise this morning. This color only lasted for about 2 minutes.
Have a great week.
Quick little last min trip down the beach, as had been waiting in all day for a delivery. A new Nikon D750, as i arrived at the beach a little wet, a gap appeared in the clouds hail fell and a rainbow appeared so managed to grab a quick snap and its probably the happiest iv been with a quick snap iv taken before. Really looking forward to using this kit and getting the most out of the camera :)
This Crab Spider didn't fancy taking on this Bumblebee, and got out of there as quickly as it could!

In preparation for my visit this year, a quick visit to the archives for this 2010 image of the F22 Raptor at the Royal International Air Tattoo.
This is a big crop from a long way away, on an old camera. There, that's the excuses out of the way...
To celebrate my recent promotion at work, and because I believe I'm worth it, I'm going to do RIAT properly this year and have just booked my FRIAT tickets (Mach 3). It'll be my first time in the FRIAT enclosure so I'm really looking forward to it!
With the recent overnight snow in the south quickly disappearing by morning,a trip down memory lane may be required for any snow....as here at Whitchurch,Hants, on 10/Feb/1991 with NSE 47711 departing its booked stop with a Salisbury to Waterloo service,terminating at Basingstoke due to the adverse weather conditions.
It was a very cloudy day and I was taking a nap at the campground. 30 minutes before sunset the clouds started to look interesting. So I quickly got up and rushed 2KM to my spot. It only took me 20 minutes, my trail walking record :)

DSC_5042
A quick shot of the Orion Nebula (M42), one of my favourite celestial objects and a really satisfying target. I've been waiting a year for an opportunity to image this nebula again, this time with a polar alignment and guiding to enable much longer exposures than the 15 second subs I took last time and with a lower ISO to reduce noise. The next project with this is to either stitch two shots together or, better still, rotate the camera in order to fit both the Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula into one frame.
13 x 4 minute exposures at 400 ISO
8 x dark frames
10 x flat frames
21 x bias/offset frames (subtracted from flat frames only)
Total exposure time - 52 minutes
Guided with PHD
Processed in Nebulosity, Maxim DL and Photoshop
Equipment
Celestron NexStar 127 SLT
GoTo AltAz mount with homemade wedge
Orion 50mm Mini Guide Scope
ZWO ASI120 MC guiding camera
Canon EOS 700D DSLR
[Wikipedia] The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula. [Wikipedia]

Had a quick go on Orion this evening. This is a stack of 6 x 3 minute subs at f2.8, ISO 800 with 50mm lens with Canon 1100d unmodded camera. CLS clip filter attached.
I find this very helpful. It is not the only way to ID these insects but it is quick and good for those of us who are not experts.
You will have to view in LARGE to see the detail of the antennae.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
While driving home through a shower and into the sun, I knew that a rainbow would appear. This was the best I could get on my phone camera.

Oh, I thought I would manage a good old walk this afternoon but I didn't get too far as it poured down with rain!! At this point on my way back home the rain had stopped but as I was soaked, I just kept homeward bound!!
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
