I'm looking forward to seeing NGC2264 in all its astro glory.

Show a picture of a star constellation and a judge will struggle to get a sense of scale!
I'll be interested to see the photos.

[Alan Graham]

Does this give you sense of scale? The ISS just went overhead with an added bonus of a couple of satellites crossing its path. Taken with my smartphone.

[Chris Sawyer]

Thanks Alan - it's funny how something like the ISS is normally so hard to see, but it's path is so obvious under a long exposure.  How many minutes?

[OPS Notices]

Chris, I use an app to see when it is coming over, we've had some good views lately. The first image was for 126 seconds, the second was 75 seconds.

This one later in the evening is a Qantas 767 leaving Heathrow heading non-stop to Perth, Australia. That exposure was for 18 seconds. All 3 images have been cropped a little but little else.

[Fay]

can you see the image I have put on? I seem to remember there was a particular way to put pictures in a post
