  1. The sun go thru a cycle every 11 years this winter just gone was i understand the 10th year so the activity that causes the Aurora is very high at the moment peeking i believe this time next year and again i understand the downside of the 11th year is the most active, So it should be even more active for another year although you wont see much thru the summer. I use several apps to get information on when there is a possible chance but there has to be a lot of things line correctly for it to be able to be seen in Scotland never mind this far south. Last sunday the stats where the 5th highest recoreded but i was lucky cloud covered most the country. Last November 5th was also extremely with clear skies and Aurora was seen all the way down to St Ives in cornwall and i heard as far douth as the Dolomites in the Alps Ive been lucky ive seen it on camera in the city of Nottingham twice and seen it twice on the moors by eye although it showed as a grey mist on the 5th nov but just for a few seconds last sunday we saw actulayy saw the green by eye but mostly caught it camera. Im not too good with photoshoip so my skills at proccessing are not good so find it hard to bring it out in PP but it is easy with modern mobiles and quick as i understand they tend to present images with some sort of HDR programing so a quick play with the built in editer works wonders, infact we use the mobiles every few minutes to chech for aurora and if good then shoot with main camera. As for the car trail image that was pure luck we wasnt out for Aurora i had not had any notifications from my apps it wasnt untill i proccessed image then as an afterthought checked the sky and Bingo there was just a hint. Ive had 3 days togging in 5 days and had a very lucky time getting shots od Aurora and night trails have been on my hit list for years. So 2 good nught sessions and a great day at Lakenheath although light was poor, this last week So nice to be able to get out and about more now just need good news when i next see my Oncologists but feeling better so fingers crossed
  2. Its a very busy road i was surprised how many vehicles of all types came thru that evening
  3. Thank you this is only my 2nd real attempt the first yes i got it but so many user issues ive learnt from them this time although ive had some luck at home on mobiles a couple of times and last friday was out on motorway bridge doing car trails and caught aroroa with knowing till i check images in processing heres a shot of the unseen Aurora just above the clouds

    My Twins

    Ive tried mirrorless R6 and R6mk2 and they are not as quick or accurate in the focusing as my old 1dx2 hence why i bought a second one The 1dx2 locks onto moving targets incredably fast and once locked on does not lose focus or tracking its literaly a point and shoot as long as its setup correctly when i shoot aviation on my old 7D2 i got 90% to 95% percent keepers same for bird in flite with 1dx2 i get 100% keepers only times i get out of focus its because ive done something wrong user error not seen a mirrorless provide similar results from my togging friends yet but ive not had any experience with R3 but thats pricey and now these pair i have will last me till i done
  5. Having learnt a few lessons from my last attempt before Christmas got there early (see sunset post) again very cold and yes remembered tripod torches etc< Stats where extremely high for Aurora but with full moon bringing different challenges. So soon as dark came it was kicking off but only for camera, later it got better and at one point we could see green by the eye. Hers my first edit (need to learn and practice this type of editing) and i am pleased with the new lens my manual focusing etc
  6. Up on the Yorkshire moors between Hathersage and Shefield looking east to Stanage edge whilst waiting for the Darker hours

  17. Thanks, He is actually a Hancock Lurcher, Red Merle which is a 1st cross between a Greyhound and a Border Collie The Merle is skin pattern/colouration and the colour of the eyes. Hancock Lurchers ar bred for the colourations and to keep one of the longest oldest mix of Lurcher as they wher back in the 1200AD when Lurchers back the where either Greyhound x collie or Bedlington terrier x whippet. but nowadays any sighthound x with working dog so modern Lurchers can and are often made up of several different breeds
