Have got many from my arctic circle cruise, but all from my iPhone and trying to keep it steady whilst it was brass monkeys out (i.e. -20ºc + windchill on deck) was not the easiest...

Frozen Jarfjord - North of Kirkenes at 70ºN

Was told that they don't get ice in the fjords at this latitude and is why the fjords are so handy for military/fishing vessels.But this fjord (at 70ºN) has ...

Southern lights. A bit of science fiction type sky.

Went for a wee walk in Culross to get some architecture photos and this Audi was having a photoshoot done ~ I snuck in a couple of cheeky photos for myself, this being my favourite ...

The Keyhole nebula in Eta Carina. 80 x 60 second subs...Processed in a new way for me.. Stack all the images on top of each other, then remove the stars as a separate image, stretch the background nebulosity to bring out detail you would not see without blowing out the stars if they there.. then treat the stars separately with correction for roundness etc.. then put them back..

To put some perspective on that last picture, the area imaged is marked roughly in this one, taken with my widefield scope... .

And to put that one in perspective...

And finally, for that trip anyway..

I did get away to dark skies, only to find out that just about everyone is burning off ready for the dry season, I should have stayed home...

Best I could do...

The only thing I really achieved was to verify that the AEF I fitted, "Automatic Electronic Focus" as seen here, actually worked.
And it did, I could fall asleep for hours pretending to take pictures...

What I do when I'm not doing Z things...

Music, cold beer, camp fire, astro at night, a swimming hole, and an ATV to blast around on, with nobody around.

But these guys..

Beautiful isn't it ?...

Shame your old mate Zephyr never made it out there, bet you pair would have got up to some antics over a few beers!
Those Roo's (not that we get many around these parts), are they aggressive if you get anywhere near them or do they turn tail and hop off?
You certainly know how to live
P.S any nasties in that pool?

Roos are timid creatures, thousands of years of being whacked in the side of the head by a boomerang type of fear. yes Zephyr would have loved it. Nasties in the pool ?, its actually a spring it only pops out of the ground for about 300 meters , but still has little fish in it, good for a nice pedicure ..

A picture of Eta Carina, with the stars removed. This is part of post processing, they do get put back. But I thought the image interesting without them.

There is something behind me isn't there......Kinda made friend with the little fella over the last few visits, and he sings, its really quite beautiful..
