It's been a great month for astrophotography. Here's an image by one of my customers on a recent photography tour at clatteringshaws, not bad at all for her first approach to night photography! Looking forward to seeing more

It's great to see such enthusiasm from my customers. Here's an image by Sandra McNeill, who joined me for an Astrophotography tour with her friend at Clatteringshaws earlier in the month.

The miracle of star reduction! For a while I've been wondering why my tracked astro shots aren't coming out with as much detail as other astrophotographers'. This is the first image where I've used 'star reduction' to lower the brightness of fainter stars, allowing me to gently bring out more detail in the milky way. In this image it's the 'Great Rift' of our spiral galaxy.

This evening we witnessed an incredible view of the setting Moon over the Pacific ocean :) It was going down through the inversion layer and the colors were truly spectacular ! I hope you'll enjoy the view (y)

Some snaps from my Perseid Meteor Shower stargazing event at The Cafe at Kirroughtree last night. We had a great crowd and saw over 40 bright shooting stars in lilac, green and gold.

Here's another oldie to water down all these Bluebell shots I'm posting! Looking forward to the return of the dark skies and the heart of the galaxy after sunset this August! Especially as I'm still getting to grips with my new astro tracker for longer exposures. Shares, as always, are much appreciated. Clear skies, Jesse

Shennanton woods are lush at the moment... Blue, indigo, violet, lime green, gold. Get out and see some woods before it's gone!

I'm loving the spring light in the woods at the moment. That lime green color of the beech leaves contrasting with the bluebells is pure, cliche magic...
