8.8º here at the moment after a low of 5.0º. I'm expecting a rapid drop overnight?
-
I see that employees of Netweather aren't allowed to enter, so start paying me or I'll enter.
-
7.9º and clear blue skies after a nighttime low of -1.0º giving the 42nd air frost since the autumn.
-
Looks like the majority of my tadpoles have hatched out over the past couple of days, and are now clinging to the jelly-stuff. Wonder when they'll start swimming about?
-
I'd have to check if this was my record but 22.2º today's going to take some beating.
-
23.4C here this afternoon beating the 22.4C record set at the weekend and further smashing the long-term March record of 15.7C! A minimum overnight of 1.2C giving a daily range of 21.2C, which is pretty good going.
-
Just got in from a day on site and yep....staggering!
-
And here's a 5 minute exposure at ISO200.
-
Here's one of the Moon and Venus I took this evening
and one I took last night of the Moon, Jupiter and Venus - -
Here are another couple of shots - one of the Pleiades (with the mount not properly aligned) which shows some nebulosity nicely, and one of the Orion Nebula taken a few minutes ago with just a 15 second exposure...the sky wasn't even properly dark!
-
Reached 22.7º here today, which I'm guessing is my March record, but I can't access my records right now, so I'd be guessing. Beautiful day!
Edit - just checked my records and yep, smashed my March record, which until today stood at 15.7º!
-
Managed -1.2º last night but temperature shooting up now and it's currently 7.8º with a clear blue sky. Wonderful!
-
Here's tonight's effort - Auriga, high in the west with the Milky Way running through it. You can even make out two open clusters; M37 & M38, both of which are about 4000 light years away.
-
My spawn's definitely developing and I think one or two might have hatched out and are attached to the jelly. Just got a cheap air pump placed in there and am slowly topping the water level up each day, with a watering can's worth at a time as the water which comes out of the well is pretty damned cold, so I want to do it slowly.
-
That was a 3min exposure at ISO 400 and f5.6. I think the rays coming from Venus are just down to lens flare from the lens iris. Don't really have a clue what I'm doing yet, but the photos look pretty which is all I really care about!
-
Here's another one I took last night. Venus, Jupiter and Pleiades, all in one frame.
-
It was a 5 minute exposure complete with tracking. Just a bog standard Canon EOS 1100D, which is their entry level DSLR. You can make out a darker band within the Milky Way in the central bit of the photo too.Jesus, that's a good picture, was that taken through a telescope? And what camera do you have?
-
Here's one I took earlier tonight looking towards Perseus, and you can see a plane going through in the bottom left corner.
-
Think it's an aeroplane - the dashed line suggests a flashing light going through the image during the exposure.
-
Bright blue sky this morning and just missed out on an air frost with the temperature dropping to 0.0º. Currently 3.8º.
-
Oh yes - good point. Perhaps because the pond is in permanent shade it won't be such a problem?If you want the tadpoles to have any algae to eat, perhaps.
Depends if I can get the solar panel into a sunny position, but I guess just a pump would do to oxygenate the water? I don't know how normal pond weed would do in shade.Looks fairly gutless, should be perfect if you leave off the fountain attachment:
-
I want the tadpoles to have the best chance of developing (and for the water to not look manky), and am happy to get a filter/pump for the "pond" but the smallest I can find deal with ponds of up to 1500litres. Mine is going to be 200 litres. I guess you can't over filter the water can you?!
-
How about looking at the weekend then Gavin?
-
And perhaps keep an eye out for any wandering Frenchmen?

2.2º and snowing moderately here. Not settling in town, but my dad says it's starting to accumulate on his grass. He's about 800ft though.
