Description

I had have floods, rain, frost, snow, wind and very wind!, and fog and mist in recent days and on the odd occasions when it has been clear, I am not convinced that it has been really clear, but some unseen high murk is above me in the darkness. Sounds like a gothic drama! So, I got 1 hours and 10 minutes of this, 22 subs, each at 5 minutes long. I decided to go with a different exposure length rather than the standard 3 minutes that people often talk about, with regard to this camera. I think it has paid off. I may settle for 4 or 5 minutes in future, and see how I do. Anyway, I am pleased with the result because of these difficulties. I will be posting the Tadpoles later, which I am less pleased with because that was a lot longer integration time, but it was a struggle to process - and it turned out less favourable. Maybe there was high murk as I wrote above, after all. Take care all of you...
