Yes... a K&F variable ND at max.

The cloud also acted like a diffuser.

btw what is the speed limit for the best sections.... 60 ?

It's a blanket 50mph from just outside Buxton to about a couple of miles outside Macclesfield. To be honest... there are much better roads around here than the Cat.

Nice set here, especially the last two. Is it the Cat and Fiddle that's popular with Bikers?

Not so much now.... 2 reasons.

1, The new owners now say they have to purchase from them to stop there.

2, The fecking average speed camera's!!!

This afternoon I went up to the Cat & Fiddle, where I ran in to arses who just walked in front of my camera!!! If I go up there again I am taking a big stick with me... RUDE B*****D's!!

I then moved on down to Wildboarclough...

Here are the results!

A thread for those of us who managed to capture it!

Here is my effort.... it is unedited (cropped tho) and straight off the camera!

No filters used, other than a protective Hoya UV, I know the arguments against it tho. I feel safer with it on.

Try using an LPF as well... Pig Iron ones are good but not stupid money. I got an 82mm one off fleabay for 35 quid. A Hoya one is about 100.... They're worth using.

This is a meteor streak...

Yes the Orionid meteor shower. It was from Thurs to Sat night. Unfortunately I was clouded up!

Satellites tend to leave a thinner line because they are much higher up above our atmosphere. Aircraft light lines are different to. Like these...
