Kinda miss the Robins , we don't get them here in Australia.. We get a lot of these though. 60 or more in one tree last year..I used a camera for this one...

Some new gear, that will guarantee cloudy nights for the next month or so...Just a clip on to the existing rig.. Its that little tiny telescope nearest with its own little camera on the back..now that talks to the tiny computer on top and instructs the mount to make tiny corrections to tracking by watching the field of view for any deviation, whilst the main scope and camera collect the images..theory is I should be able to go well past 60 seconds per frame.. When the clouds clear.... Just thought you might find it interesting.. If I get stellar results, Ill post em up. If I don't you will hear no more of it...

It was too close to our tent...What a beast...I was intimidated a bit..

A Little bit of Southern Lights for you all. Last night was an epic light storm.

A face only a mother could love.. Australian Friar Bird... Nikon D800 Sigma 150-600 maxed out...

 

[ExMX5owner]

Just back from a couple of days away down on the Cassowary Coast, hoping to get a picture of a Cassowary. A large Australian bird that should be extinct, but its not quite, yet.... We did get a picture of its egg thief though, a Goanna quite a big one about a 1.5 meters..

And of course a Wallaby, Ahhhh

 

[ExMX5owner]

When one looks right back at you.. D800 , Sigma@ 600mm

And this one , my wife got this morning. The bird is a kookaburra its prey is what looks like a white tailed rat, that apart from being a protected species, its only other claim to fame is climbing into you engine bay and making a nest out your wiring loom, good onya kooky.

Happened to me twice both with 1HZ diesels, that fortunately still run without one. I have have never seen a rat eat through starter cables...All the wires in the loom 20 or 30 of them for instruments and comfort, nibbed off at the firewall grommet and gone...

Nikon P900

The garden pond that I had at the time used to attract quite a few of them.

New camera arrived. OK, it does not look like a camera but it is... Cooled 30 degrees below ambient.. along with it I get a full full moon and cloudy nights for the next month... Dedicated Astro cam, hope to get some images to share with you..

 

[Pls]

I picked this up in the car park in Dingwall the other day. Snapped it on my old iPhone 8.

Cheers

Fitted it today, worked out the back focus and wiring nightmare.. But I think and I hope its good to go...

 

[ExMX5owner]

@t-tony ,its a cooled camera, and therefor predictable in the thermal noise from the sensor, that is subtracted from the image actual.. I should be able to push 5 minutes or so per image, stack those and then deduct the noise... But that is in a perfect world...
