Comet 220P/McNaught!

There's just something about comets. I imaged this back in September, well after the outburst/brightening of 220P, but was keen to give it a go anyway.

Look at all that dusty stuff in the background 😍 Also, calendars are releasing soon, within the next 5-10 days I hope!

Montage of the Solar Eclipse from 12th August! Taken at Haytor, Dartmoor.

strictly speaking, this isn't a properly dark sky, but it's close enough, and with this being the 'biggest' eclipse in the UK for the remainder of my lifetime, it deserves a spot in the Dark Skies 2027 Calendar. Speaking of which, the design is now finished, so they'll be available soon!

ORION! But probably not as you've seen it before...

Just look at all the dusty stuff! This is the most excited I've been about landscape astrophotography for a while. Autumn/Winter clear sky is exceptionally rare where I am, so I made the most of a recent chance to take some wide angle images of Orion, and can't quite believe what I managed to pull out of the data.

Orion isn't positioned optimally for imaging from the UK, it's not high for long, so we don't get a particularly long imaging window to gather data. A lot of my monochrome deep space processing techniques went into this, and I've got a plan of action to hopefully do better than this if there's another opportunity this coming season...

there's been some obvious airglow for all of my recent Orion attempts, which is actually detrimental to capturing the 'dusty stuff' but I've added some of it back into this for the final image. That's what the funky colour is towards the bottom, but I really like how it has turned out!

Currently an EXTREME alert for aurora!!

This image was taken 2 years ago today, and just like that night, I have the worst regional forecast in the entirety of England for tonight too! I'll try and find gaps, wish me luck...

good luck to those out trying!

Well, nearly 2 months on I've finally got the partial solar eclipse pics off of the cameras 🤣

this was a brilliant evening & night, great conditions for the eclipse, followed by hours watching the Perseid meteor shower. There's some cracking detail in some of the filtered Sun images, I'll post a cropped version below to show it better.

Ospreys are such incredible birds!

There has been a minimum of 7 Ospreys on my local patch over recent weeks, and 2 of them in particular showed exceptionally well at times. It's a species I've seen and photographed many times in the UK, but they never fail to impress, especially when they're pretty much on the doorstep!

this is one of the juvenile birds. Unsuccessful on this dive, but caught 2 fish in a single dive shortly afterwards! I'm pretty sure this image will be in the 2027 Wildlife Calendar. Speaking of which, I've usually released them before now, but this year has been, shall we say, testing! Watch this space...

I'm pleased to say that this image has won Birdguides Photo of the Week!

This Red-necked Phalarope was present at Seaton Wetlands for a couple of days at the tail end of August, and is the first ever record of this species for my local patch here.

It was a very busy bird, and I was trying to get a different/interesting pic of it... needless to say I was quite happy when I saw this moment happen. I'm sure the fly wasn't though 😂

2 bird images in a row! Looking at the forecast, there's not going to be any pics of stars for a while, but I'll do my best!

YES!!! A moment I've tried to capture for years. Decades in fact.

An Osprey. Eyes fixed, talons outstretched, about to dive into the water and catch its prey. We're currently at peak Osprey migration time for us here in southern UK, with some of these impressive birds stopping off near the coast to feed up before setting off on the next part of their journey south.

I have a whole series of images from this incredible encounter, a couple more of them may have to find their way onto here soon 🦅

Well, that was a long night.
Partial lunar eclipse this morning, taken at 05:13 from Seaton, Devon, UK.

This is just a single frame with settings of 1s, f5.6 at ISO 500, but I did take multiple frames for stacking, so will be able to produce something of much higher quality later. What a fantastic month August has turned out to be for photography.

28/08/2026

The lunar eclipse is underway!

Stressful night so far 😂
