Thanks to Eric, who noticed this link, well worth a look.  I still haven't processed the image I took last week, I have been so tired when I have had my dinner I simply don't have the energy to start processing images.

I gather Robert that the moon was very large tonight so I took a snap of it for you. This is the D850 with 500mm PF Lens plus x1.4 + 700mm. Hand held 1/500 sec f8 ISO 1250 VR on.

Very impressive Graham.

I almost went out last night to photograph the bridge at Ulpha by moonlight but I don't fancy the £100 fine if caught.  There is too much light pollution close to home, although I might try something around the boats if it's clear again tonight.

There are another bunch of moon pix with conspicuous landmarks on the BBC News website this morning but I notice they are all by the Press Association or other professional sources.  I guess they can get away with it.

I actually think that some of these photos are possibly composites.  They never say so but it is easy to do this in Photoshop.

Also I dont think that press coverage should be deemed to be essential personnel or services.  There should have been a full lockdown from early February with testing for all suspected cases and we would have had less deaths.

It was a bit hazey last night and on our little stubb of road there are street lights. Moon was in and out of light misty cloud all evening this was the best at about 11.00pm no orange colour so this is as shot with auto WB.

These were the images that are fabulous but look like composites to me.

Can't disagree.

A few minutes with the photographers ephemeris might be very revealing...

A startrail image on the Duddon Estuary with 'Oakdale' in  the foreground.  X2 15 minute exposures D800 with Nikkor 16mm f/2.8 fisheye @ f11, ISO400.  Processed in Adobe Lightroom Classic and stacked in StarstaX

I feel I pretty well achieved my intention of showing Oakdale at night with  the estuary and the Lake District mountains in silhouette with a star-trail sky. It just seems a bit 'grey'. The NEF's were better in that respect, the image lost some impact in StarstaX when I combined the two JPEG's,  I wasn't able to get back to the original feel.  I may have another go tonight, although I am still shattered after last night's 3am jaunt.

There seems to be some green and magenta banding which I haven't noticed before...  But given it was almost impossible to discern the boats hull in the dark, the camera has done an amazing job, at f11 ISO400.
