Well shot,
Agree the weathers been dire, only been our a couple of times since the end of Dec photography wise, we've had 58 consecutive days when its rained at some point during the day / night as well as 3 names storms with the first one ( 8th Jan ) giving us 80mph to 98mph gusts for most of the night.

Fabulous Spad.
The lower red half has a biblical vibe about it as portrayed by some of the 'Old Masters'.
A more current interpretation...it reminds me of images of 'open heart surgery'.
Keep in touch.

Good to see you back!
That is a spectacular shot and well worth the effort despite the full moon.

But I have not had the opportunity to actually do any, pretty much since October last year!!!
I only had 1 chance, and it was almost a full moon! So, I thought sod this. Stuffed a wide band filter on and went for it!! Usually you use a narrow band filter with a bright moon, but hey ho!
Three hours and one hundred and eighty, one minute exposures later. This came out!
M42, the Orion Nebula in all its glory!
Ps... my hatred of weather forcasters is now at a pathological apoplectic stage
