Hi all,
Took this photo on the 12th July and have been working hard on it since. It's a panoramic of 6 images which had to be manually stitched due to the low number of high contrast features for auto stitching.
Taken before dawn it shows the early morning planets Jupiter and Venus with a raft of other night sky objects:

The 2000px shot on the blog is higher JPG quality and larger than the attached but depending on your screen site you won't be able to see the full size, so depends.
I really like the result, particularly the colours and sharp silhouettes. I'm thinking of doing myself a large print of it, I think it'd look great on a glossy aluminium mount and there's enough resolution to do a 1.5m print at 100% without even starting to increase its size above 100%.
The shot is a culmination of planning to use the site for a while and monitoring when fog is in the suitable position and not. I was also quite particular about wanting the moon out of frame and behind/above to illuminate the fog nicely. So after the planning I'm glad to have a result which works. Of course there's always room for improvement and for me to wish I'd got a better shot one way or another....
Enjoy
Roger.
