2021/11/18		Lens comparison of the full moon
2021/11/04		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		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		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		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		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		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		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		First time out trying my tripod mount and wide-angle lens. Just some basic tests to ensure that things are working.
