| 2021/11/04 | [[blog:photography:night:2021_11_04|{{:blog:photography:night:2021_11_04:out_a_1.jpg?100|}}]] | Not an entirely successful night. Tried changing exposure settings which didn't work out too well, as well as some very thin cloud cover that drifted over. Not great. | 
| 2021/10/25 | [[blog:photography:night:2021_10_25|{{:blog:photography:night:2021_10_25:final_2.jpg?100}}]] | Finally got the remote shutter cable for the Sky Adventurer mount to control the camera - now about to set the camera and leave it to work its magic... after a bit of post-processing ended up with two fairly reasonable pictures of the Milky Way from the back garden... |
| 2021/10/03 | [[blog:photography:night:2021_10_03|{{blog:photography:night:2021_10_03:img_3499.jpg?100}}]] | First time setting up and trying my newly acquired Sky Adventurer tracking mount. Just a couple of images to prove that it was assembled correctly and working. |
| 2021/09/21 | [[blog:photography:night:2021_09_21|{{blog:photography:night:2021_09_21:img_3239.jpg?80}}]] | Only a few worthwhile images this evening, but I did manage to get a reasonable image of Jupiter rising between the trees at the bottom of our garden, as well as the most detailed starfield image that I've been able to get with a single exposure so far. |
| 2021/09/19 | [[blog:photography:night:2021_09_19|{{blog:photography:night:2021_09_19:img_3210.jpg?100}}]] | A darker evening with very little cloud. Got some clearer images looking back East as well as South West. Trying a range of different exposure lengths and find 20 seconds is pretty much the sweet spot before elongation of stars begins at around the 25 second mark. |
| 2021/09/18 | [[blog:photography:night:2021_09_18|{{blog:photography:night:2021_09_18:img_3180.jpg?100}}]] | A later set of images taken around midnight Saturday/Sunday. Much clearer skies and very little cloud cover. Much more recogniseable constellations and some nice images framed by the trees in our garden. |
| 2021/09/16 | [[blog:photography:night:2021_09_16|{{blog:photography:night:2021_09_16:img_3155-1.jpg?100}}]] | First proper time trying out various ISO speeds and exposure times. A couple of decent images including one with very light cloud cover side-lit by a late setting-sun. |
| 2021/09/15 | [[blog:photography:night:2021_09_15|{{blog:photography:night:2021_09_15:img_3117.jpg?100}}]] | First time out trying my tripod mount and wide-angle lens. Just some basic tests to ensure that things are working. |
