Photos from Last Night

Had an invite last night to pop over to Chris's new house, near Leeds Castle in Kent. A fabulous site, and Chris is happy for us to use it for regular observing events / workshops in the future.

The skies were really good... the Milky Way easily visible overhead, despite the very hazy conditions last night. There was a huge amount of moisture in the air, and my equipment was totally soaked by the end of the evening!

I managed to take a few photos, but was having all sorts of problems with both my tracking mount and camera (couldn't focus properly)... so the images are not the best, but they give some idea of the surrounding area and what can be seen... a really beautiful site that I'm looking forward to seeing in the daytime as well.
