    You saw me standing alone
    Without a dream in my heart
    Without a love of my own

            Thanks Joolz. :) He doesn't get out much with his camera at the moment so pictures are few and far between.

            A recent rash of moon photos prompted me to a get a t-mount so I could attach a camera to an old telescope - the scope is a cheapo thing with a spherical mirror instead of a parabolic one so there is lots of spherical aberration away from the centre of the shots.

            Nevertheless, here are some test pics from my bedroom window:

            The micro-nation of Sealand, 7 nautical miles off the coast of Felixstowe:

            A container ship out of Felixstowe port:

            [​IMG]
            A ferry with windfarm behind and below the horizon - look how big those turbines are!

            [​IMG]
            An some slighly invasive pics of unsuspecting people:

            And one more: big ship, little boat and turbine:

              Interesting shots Colinn. It only goes to show we just don't know who's watching us and where from!

                thank you Sheal - it did feel a little weird "spying" on people from afar - if I could lip read I would have known what they were saying - but all in the spirit of discovery - won't be making a habit of it - just a few more test shots to err... calibrate stuff ... then I'll stop ;-)

                        The photo was taken from the kitchen window, about 70ft away, as he always seems very nervous of us. The moment we go into the garden he walks away. We call him Fluffy because he looks fluffy. He's around almost every day and I've got lots of pictures of him - from a distance. :)

                        This was him sitting in the wildflower garden. He wandered off as soon as he saw me :sad:
