I'm back - so what do you do when you are on holidays with the family.....

Yes thats right, you take astrophotos ............................... and the kids, birds, water, and all things holidayish.

in this eclectic mix there was me trying to get a shot of the sunset, evening star venus, the crescent moon in the morning (the wife had pups when I said at 4am I was going to go to Fingal bay to take some photos), got the moon with mars and Jupiter, some smoke, even a pelican for striker, some evening shots to try and get the thin crescent moon and venus, but the low horizon cloud beat me on that count and the last night, the crescent new moon and Nelson bay.

had a great time, next time I will take family photos

oh and I snuck a dolphin in too

Hey H0ughy

You’re back. The H0ugh returns! I wondered why my on-line life had been, well…..so hollow, bleak, dull and empty the last few days.

Great set of photo’s and glad you and the family had a lovely time.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Xmas and a Peaceful & Prosperous New Year.

Dennis
