A Beautiful Winter's night

Hi all, I'm just in from a cold & frosty winter's night. I set about capturing that scene, I hope this shot gives a sense of that. Our near full moon illuminates the landscape set against the backdrop of Orion's glittering stars. A beautiful sight !

Very nice image.

It was a beautiful night up here as well, and Jonathan and I took the opportunity to go out and see Comet Lovejoy, as well as first lighting a 12" Revelation dob which has been bought by one of our members.

Easily seen in both my 10x50's and in Jonathan's 25x100's, as well as in the dob, even with the bright Moon, although there wasn't any real detail

Hopefully by this time next week, the comet should be even easier, maybe even a naked eye object.

BTW, fantastic scope.

Very nice Keith.

Beautifully composed shot Keith, it really captures the feeling of a clear Winter night.

Well done Keith

That's a nice photo Keith, shows how moonlight kills comets and faint fuzzies
