Some media coverage today

Some of the papers have picked up a story about my astronomy obsession hobby today. The papers have “inflated” the story a little, comparing my meager M31 image to the latest M31 from NASA, but I am generally happy with the article. First time in the papers, so its a new experience for me

Daily Mail Online

Metro

Many thanks to Joanne Riley (BAV Media) and Geoff Robinson (Geoff Robinson Photography) for suggesting and working on the article.

Solar Eclipse from Cambridge (awesome cloud effects!)

I was fortunate enough this morning to grab my DSLR and tripod, point it out the window, and grab this amazing looking image… looks like I was viewing the eclipse through the Jupiter cloud layers!

Its a composite of two images (longer one and a much shorter one), but I stupidly shot them in jpg and nopt RAW, so processing them has caused some hard to remove banding 🙁
