It was a quick walk this evening, out and about before the mist rolled in.
In that time I did manage a few attempts at photographing the Plough.
This is my first attempt at imaging with our Samsung A71. So far so good, the results are promising.
By setting the camera to four second exposure, and an ISO of 3200 I captured the above image.
I will have to make myself a tripod for the phone, that way I'm sure the images will be a lot sharper.
Can't wait to try my hand at capturing the Milky Way.
Oh boy was this Moon a wonderful sight to behold!
This year's Harvest Moonrise near Crymych was exceptional, luckily I was prepared.
My trusty 42x12 binoculars were sat on a nearby fence post, trained on the Moon, and the phone camera was placed (afocal) near the eyepiece.
A couple of seconds later the rising Moon was captured.
Some nearby bats were enjoying the Harvest Moon as much as Helen and I were, their presence was confirmed on our bat detector.
The sky was now dark, and every so often a bat silhouette could just be made out swooping towards and then hastily away from us.
The Moonrise was beautiful and the nearby bats added to the magic of the night.
The bat detector's squeeks and chirps made it all the more fun.
Yesterday's giant prominence was still showing well this morning.
Though it does look as if the maximum was sometime in the hours of darkness last night.
Still, as proms go, this is a beauty.
