Plus 1.

I love these shots, all are very good - best viewed large and when done so numbers 6 and 12 (panoramic ones) they just blew me away!

Thank you for the comments, I keep trying to get a better shot of the Rail but it's proving elusive at the mo.

1. Taken yesterday, Water Rail, heavily cropped, quite a secretive bird, excuse the twig in the way, DA* 300;



2. Buzzard, same lens with TC 1.4 WR ;



3. Today's shot of an Oyster Catcher on KP and DA* 300.;

Ah, you mean RTFM but that's taking all the fun away.....

I have recently attempted for the first time, and just now with a stack of 10 of the moon, but it results in completely blown highlights. Back to the drawing board I'm afraid. It looks as though it did a Composite of them all and increased exposure, I have read on various sites saying that stacking does this and also sites saying the opposite?
I also took some shots just this evening pointing at Orion and will later (tommoz) have a look at stacking them in the forlorn hope of a nebula result! lol.

Quickie shot of the moon this evening with the K1 mkII and DA* 300mm f4. at f11, ISO 100, 1/100th sec.




Same image with haze removal appears sharper;

thanks Urbanmeister.

Thanks chaps. The lower planet of the two brightest in the sky was Venus.
