Lovely view of Orion too.
Red flashing light photobombing the image was a military helicopter which was tailing another military helicopter that had NO LIGHTS showing!!

Patrick Moore party 5th February 2011Posted by Greg Parker in News, People and Places, Sky at NightA very lively party at Sir Patrick’s last night, all the usual suspects present. This was a double celebration of the 700th Sky at Night, and Sir Patrick’s birthday (which was the day before). Sir Patrick had supposedly invited 70 people – I think there were at least 270 in the Marquee. No photos of this event from me I’m afraid as some self-appointed bunch of knob-heads who were helpfully blocking the way in for Patrick’s guests made it clear that “the organisers” wanted no photographs to be taken (and no autographs to be asked for either)! Who “these organisers” were I have no idea (and frankly I couldn’t care less) but I’m pretty sure that if Sir Patrick knew that his party had been hijacked in this way he would not have been too happy. Other than that, great to see Sir Patrick again and looking forward to seeing the 700th edition of the Sky at Night this evening.

Sky at Night Magazine (July 2007 Issue)Posted by Greg Parker in Sky 90 and SXV-H9C, Sky at NightNo matter how many publications you have, a new publication is always exciting. The July 2007 issue of Sky at Night magazine is including our widefield M42 image on the cover CD-ROM. This image was taken with the Sky 90/SXVF-M25C combination. This is one of my top ten favourite images and shows just how far really have come in two years (and maybe just how far we have to go!).
