May 7th was a massive day for thunderstorms across the UK and Ireland with a supercell and tornado Near Oxford, England. Here we missed out on the best of the action but i was keeping a lookout from home and was rewarded in the evening with this short stubby funnel spinning up out of a dark cloud base.




Heres the storm retreating with a partial rainbow and hail shafts.




And the sunset to end the day!



Be great to see people back on the forum posting again. 

Spotted a brief but nice 22 degree lunar halo the other night

The forum is alive and well!!!

Great looking star trail Anthony and impressive detail in the nebula there, nice job on the new site as well 

Unfortunately conditions here at my location are not favourable for observing tonight



And these were the conditions the the night before, it took a while for we to get warm again lol

Hi there,

Half year later the comet meets M92 cluster in Hercules. I've missed the closest conjunction yesterday (clouded), but hope for a view tonight. 

Hi Andy, the exposure time I used is only 30secs, I normally take around 200 plus images and then stack. Agree regarding the lack of posts it all went very quite so I stopped posting shame really because I really enjoyed the time here. I did start my own small forum and a few members here joined, if you would like to join the link is here http://landscapenightscape.createaforum.com/index.php.

Glad you liked my website keep in touch

Anton

Cheers Andy, enjoyed the time their, bloody cold though.

Very creative Anton. Love the 'angled' buildings in that first shot with Gemini & Orion adding a very nice finishing touch. 

Two very impressive results there Anton. Looking at the length of the trails in that first shot I'm assuming that the exposure time must have been pretty lengthy - in which case you've done well to hold back the light pollution as far as possible without sacrificing any of the 'wanted' detail in the shot.

Just noticed the link to your website which looks very impressive. I shall bookmark it and have a proper look at the various galleries in detail later on.

I was beginning to think that the Plague had returned and wiped out all of the members here - so good to see a couple of new posts!  

Just a few images taken at Broadway in the Cotswolds.
