Pauline | |  Aurora (Inverness) autumn 2003Another scanned film shot of a strong Aurora. Autumn 2003. Unusual to see such a strong display over town, considering the light pollution. Pauline |  Young Moon and Mercury 20052 day old crescent Moon (2.7%) with Mercury to its upper right. Taken with SLR (film!) from the Castle grounds, scanned into computer and contrast enhanced in Photoshop. Pauline | |  Noctilucent Clouds 14/07/06This was snapped while observing Jupiter on July 14th 2006. The NLC's took a while to develop and there was some debate among those present as to whether it was really a NLC display or not. It was later confirmed when Ken Kennedy gave a talk to the Society about NLCs and reported a very impressive display all over Europe on... July 14th 2006! Vindication! Taken with Pentax K1000 SLR with 50mm lens, exposure time 5 seconds or thereabouts. Pauline | | |
