I may have done something wrong, but am I right in thinking the jpeg and pef images are different?
No Barrie you did nothing wrong - they are different.

Ah! We don't get CeeBeebies, but I see he is on early in the morning on BBC1 now. Another one from Wales too, just like Super Ted and Fireman Sam.

I shall have to start getting up early I can see

Seeing your house I can sympathise Archie. There were no thatch fires at New year thank heavens. We have a few thatched houses in our street (though nowhere near as lovely as yours) and I always worry about them with all the fireworks!.

FWIW, the moon isn't larger when it rises, it is an optical illusion as there is more context than when it is high in the sky
You mean it isn't a balloon that deflates as it gets higher?

Moonrise I my favourite shot too.

We have DM and Penn(i)fold on the team here at work and I was in Saudi with Roger Ramjet (Tornado instructor).
Did your Roger Ramjet take his Proton Energy Pills?

What sort of a message was that to give little kids .

Whatever you do do not use a lens pen on your sensor .

Invest in an Arctic Butterfly or swabs for sensor cleaning.

Chinese lanterns (which are banned here btw) are a single balloon with a small flame under them. They don't last very long either. That is clearly two pieces.
Banned as they are the neighbours launched a few at new Year. I just hope they didn't come down on anyone's thatch. They are banned because they are a fire hazard, a danger to aircraft and a danger to animals once they burn out and land - small pieces of wire are left which cows and sheep can, and do ingest.

My bet is still a weather balloon or other scientific balloon - the lab I worked at used to launch them for studying the Ionosphere. I believe they were designed so they became a parachute on the way back down so the equipment could be recovered.

Though since it seems to have a halo maybe it is an angel .

I remember all of those Tony!

The likes of Roger Ramjet were my kids viewing options.

Now the grandkids watch Dora the Explorer .

I like the lawnmower and the two birds the most. The birds look like one of those balancing toys.

Oh and the duck is a she not a he .
