Hope you're getting a good view of tonight's noctilucent cloud display...

Oh yes we did. Will upload pics soon. We also saw them again at around 3.30am when the sun started to come up.

Sunset from Rother Valley DSC

[Mike]

What a great weekend! Two clear nights and fantastic weather. Those who didn't attend missed a good one.

Mick and Duncan have stayed on for another night.

[Carole]

A great site.  VERY hot, and excellent skies.

A couple of pictures from the camp

[MarkS]

Stunning sunset Fay!  The image came out really well - did you use the tripod for it?

[RobertM]

Have to agree, what a beautiful Sunset.

[Fay]

Yes Mark. I have just gone out & bought the tripod & the top bit! I took a few pictures but  I had a lot of dust on the X Nite, so should be better next time

[Fay]

Just found my x2 panorama. I used Julian's tripod & he advised me with the settings. I think it was ISO200, F5.4 cannot be sure yet, will check it out,  Canon 350D

[Mac]

Nice panorama,

One other bit of info when you are doing a panorama,
make sure you chose a manual white balance, otherwise you will get different colours between the images  as you pan the camera around.

Mac.

[Mike]

Yeah there is a line in the middle of that pic. What software did you use to create it ?

[Fay]

I can't see a line & I have looked at it blown up............................as I do a lot of these days!

[PhilB]

I didn't see it either, before it was pointed out. If you look you can see a light band just to the right of the picture centre. it's a good image anyway

[Fay]

Blew it up really large on desktop & still cannot see the join

[Mike]

Look at both halves of the image, they are different in colour. Like Mac said, it lo0oks like you didn't lock down the white balance.

What software did you use?
