The next photo will have worst shot that you tried really hard to get but didn't.
Not just a picture from the mirror.

Well, this is a bad one, a very bad one…
I tried to take a 20 sec exposure of the stars through our Hill’s Hoist, whilst painting the frame with a red LED torch. Why? Oh, for the October comp of course!
The next photo will have “Something to do with your non-astronomy related hobby” in it.
Next photo will have something to do with a broken astro accessory in it
Hi
Here is an image of my "broken" home made solar filter after I left it out in the Sun too long!
The next photo will have “Something to do with rain” in it.

PS – Just kidding, following in JJJ’s footsteps of using some imaginative, artistic licence – the solar filter was “broken” by “creative use” of Corel Photopaint, my image processing software…

I reckoned no one would admit to breaking an astronomical accessory, let alone post a photo of one, so I had a play around with my photo editing program. With hindsight, I guess a solar filter is the one astronomical accessory that should not be tampered with, even in a photo editing program.
So, just for the record, the Baader solar film is in perfect condition and was morphed on my computer using some funky filter in Photo Paint. Please do not be alarmed, these filters are incredibly tough and resilient when handled in accordance with the manufacturer’s data sheet. But, as always, take care, take no risks and always use an approved full aperture solar filter – your eyesight is precious.
