I am still working on a couple of DSOs but with the dire weather we've had, it's taken a long time to finish them. In the meantime, a few lunar a solar shots taken over the last few weeks:

Good seeing allowed some solar this past weekend. All taken using a 94mm refractor at different EFLs.

Thank you Carole and Dave! My allsky camera is now up and running (http://allsky.boterosanchez.co.uk) and last night capture either an Iridium flare or a meteor flash and the ISS:

The usual diagnostic is the speed with which the event happens. It seems the time-lapse frames have quite large gaps between them, so the chance of a meteor appearing on more than one frame is very small. Looking closely at the time-lapse, that flash event seems to be related to a satellite trail in frames both before and after the bright flash, so it's definitely caused by a satellite reflecting the Sun. Would have been quite a sight to catch live. ;)
