After the Storm


I suspect it’s more a case of “between the storms” since there seems to be more bad weather on the way, but this is what transpired after the thunderstorm only a short time ago: a starry night. There might be a little more stars than usual in here, because I was not able to tell some of the dead pixels apart from the real thing – but I think I got most of them out. It’s a 15-second exposure, so everything slightly elongated should be a star, or a planet in case of Jupiter on the left (which looked magnificent through the telescope)!

Black and White


I actually did a monochrome version of this, but maybe this colour one looks better because the black and white Magpie stands out more. We suspect the Magpies have been breeding this year here – the oak tree across the “backyard” has revealed a big nest on top when the leaves came down.
