Actually, that's a point. I have never tested how much room is left outside of my viewfinder.

I just love this set.I really must set out to produce a set of something one day.

It is hard for me to pick a favourite; Notre Dame is sublime, but I think I'd jump for Brothers.

I love these. Really like the Spitfire, but if I had one small niggle, it seems cramped on the tailplane, maybe because it has so much room around the rest of it.
But other than that, yep, really like them.

It was mentioned to me for taking astro shots. My old MESuper obviously didn't have a mirror lock up.

And to follow the topic

Placing something in front of, but not touching, the lens when you open the shutter and again just before closing it has the same effect as mirror lock up; as the camera might vibrate, but there is no light to be recorded.

A large, wide brimmed hat works perfectly well for this....see my pic

Well, I'll have to think about how to do this. Merging two shots will be the way to go. I might just have a go, been a while since I had my telescope out.

Well, it was raining when I looked out last night. I believe the peak is Sunday night, so I might get along to a dark area over the weekend and see what I can see.
Only seen a good display once, about 6 years ago on a really dark campsite, right by the see, so I had an uninterrupted horizon.

Insect pics aren't my cup of tea, I'm afraid. But lovely and sharp.

Probably

It was funny to be in Scotland, listening to the news on BBC Radio Scotland,whilst having a BBQ, hearing about flooding in Liverpool

Nobody would believe us when we got home

We haven't had Summer in Scotland for five years now. just go straight from Spring to Autumn.
Oh, I don't know.

Taken two weeks ago near North Berwick, whilst I was (sun) burning my knees
