Great stuff - how come you kept the stars as dots with a 300mm lens on and 30secs? Did you use the OGPS thing?

What a great set of images - a real pleasure to view. Some lovely quirky stuff in there as well!
What is behind the 'do not love humans'? Is it for or against migrants? or have I got it completely wrong?!

All three - lovely rich colours. Have often driven through this area between Swanage and the Poole harbour ferry, but not often stopped and had a good explore; I have obviously missed out!

Thanks Andy,

I can highly recommend it, our kids both really enjoyed it despite be quite young (almost 3 & 1), lots of older kids around us too getting into it.

Away from the arena stuff the rest of the castle and grounds was all decked out with re-enactors, I think they camp on site for the weekend and live as close to the period style as possible, so they're all cooking and cleaning and making things as you walk around.

Really fun day.
Looks it! Thanks for the extra info

Hi Gareth
I am glad you've tweaked the meteors - helps to see them! I have several from the South Downs and on the best image I have three meteors; one quite bright and the other two quite faint - I posted it in the gallery. K5ii no astrotracer

I understand that some stores like the Oxford Street on are flagship stores where a lot of the real clearance stuff will go. Interestingly, they have other new ones in the main sale cabinets for sale in excess of £300!

You should have bought both and then sold them on here at a profit ... I can think of at least one person on here who would have done just that

Absolutely - there were 3 when I went into the store...
