Good pictures. I also follow a group on Facebook called Moon Photography and some impressive photos get posted in there too. 👍

Hopeless in the UK for astro photography. It is peak Milky Way  season and moon now favourable for a couple of weeks (in that it won't have risen before Milky Way shows) yet despite the apparent blue skies the Astro index (scale 1- 10, really need 7+) is zero. Yes zero. Thin high cloud, general haze and pollution being the cause.

I'm pleased - the floaters and cataracts do confuse a bit, not to mention the double vision! 🤣
Tonight: A good rising Moon with Jupiter in attendance to the East. Saturn to the South.

November's full moon rising through a bit of low cloud in the NE. I was hoping to get it passing behind Winter Hill, but the cloud got in the way.
