Welcome to the jupiter club, Andy! Am I missing something? If I wind-up my K7 to max. ISO, it stops at 3200.... you have more?!!! Coker.

Mike, Just poked my 600mm. f8 Sigma out of the window at jupiter... v.difficult (impossible?) to focus on infinity, & that's without a 2x converter! I think the way forward is to use a lens with a reasonably "bright" aperture, & crop. Considering the distances involved, is a few mm.s in focal length doing much? Let us know how you're getting on. Roger.

Go for it, Mike!!! ....But don't stay up too late; school tomorrow! With you all the way, Roger.

Hi, Mike I think the ISO setting is the key; although there is more noise, the necessary degree of crop would incur more noise anyway, but reducing the tone of the image cuts a lot of it down. All would enable a shorter shutter speed to avoid star-trails. Have another go! Thanks for letting us see, Coker.

I believe this man is lipping panels with what (used to be known as) iron-on edging. When I worked as a joiner in London in the early 80's, this is how it was done,. There was always a certain amount of trimming to be done by hand, the edging being slightly wider than the edge itself! It looks as though this is what he's getting ready to do. Nowadays done with an edgebander machine(!) C ...

The language of Grey's Elergy still moves after all those years. And is beautifully enhanced by this image, Andrew. Thanks for letting us see. Coker.

Tom & Algi, to answer my own question- it doesn't look as good. Thanks for letting me see (& be wrong!):oops: Coker.

Thomas, Another wonderful image of another wonderful buzzard! May I suggest....? How would it look if the bough on the left were to be omitted but being sure to leave the twig there, as a stop lest the eye wanders out of the picture? thanks for letting us see, Coker.

Love it! Coker.

Good evening, Andrew. What a photogenic material this rust stuff is! Well seen, grand image! I think the iron loop has probably been on there rather longer than what I think are reinforcing plates used in the manufacture of roofing A-frames & the like; they may even have been galvanised in a previous life! Thanks for letting us see, Coker.
