North Channel at Dusk

Got this panoramic in unusually clear conditions last night. From the top of the hill on which I live - Larne in the foreground, then from left to right the Scottish islands of Islay, Jura, the Mull of Kintyre and Isle of Arran with one of the Maiden rocks on the far right.

Also did some astrophotography last night. The Moon was the all pervading object so I confined myself to shooting avis of Saturn and a Moon mosaic, none of which I've processed yet, however I did take this unusual shot of the Moon being projected out of the side of my scope onto a piece of card.




See Corona Borealis out of focus in the sky behind.


Clear skies,

Paul.
