Thanks for the comments guys; it was a difficult shot, pointing out of the study window with my GP mount just carefully balanced on top of an old photo tripod, hoping it wouldn't fall off!
Mike - the diffraction spikes are probably just artifacts from the iris on the 135mm f2.5 Pentax lens, which was stopped down to f8 to improve the image. I also noticed this on some of my 35mm emulsion photos from years gone by.
Sorry to hear about the rain H0ughy. I just returned from chasing sucker holes around SE Qld trying to get another shot or 2 tonight (4th June) and just managed to squeeze a couple off as the pair broke free from a band of clouds that obscured them until they almost set. Will process and post later - yawn, tired, must go to bed....zzzzzzz
Cheers
Dennis
