Having just come back from France, I thought why not post some of my camera phone astro images. Simple pictures with an astronomy theme was pretty much my limit. I will leave the long exposures and star tracking for another time. It was great to see the various constellations that much higher in the sky (at one point we were 44 degrees north). Orion over the church spire Scorpio was an amazing sight. Being able to see the entire constellation from the south of France was a sight not to be forgotten. Full Moon over Pont Brottone Next time we head off to France I will pack a digital SLR camera. Our old Nikon D50 took some excellent shots of the night sky. * Must remember to post my "opera glasses" Moon sketch in the next post. Clear Skies Mark.
