Water is Higher that last year and the slow recovery is there but "slow" over the 7 months.

The over view shows just how well the grass trees recover and how much slower everything else is in the 7 months. The winter grass in the front just weeds.

The last remnants of the home have gone and a start to removing the petrol station and home beside has started. 7 months recovery mostly winter grass on the ground.

Just a plain star field @ 500mm this is 16 shots @ 5 min each. We finally managed to find the problem with the program . This come from the seconds night of guiding with a good sized moon shedding light,

From 22 floors up.

The PIP is the same shot but all stars removed so you see just the nebula's. This is as requested to see all the stars as a contrast.

600 mm of what may have been better 300mm

With the program that removes stars I had a look back at the 10 shot I Took with the 14mm lens 4 min each 4 had clouds. To this I have done not one colour edit this is straight from raw files. What you see is all the Nebulocity that is in the core all the detail and all the colour that make this up. I will add all the PIPS that go with this shot. There is Lots my fav part of the milky way. Just out of view To the left in order Running Chicken Nebula, Carina, and the Fighting dragons. Running chicken ( still cant find It) Found the chicken on it head Carina Fighting Dragons All of this will get a revisit next year once Guiding works as it should.. In the mean time Enjoy a Heavenly View. All this is captured on Normal photographic gear And a lot of determination.

Even Higher than my 22 floors.

Another fruitless night to get the guide program working. So as not to end the night totally fruitless 20 Shots Before the clouds came in to the shot and closed the night down done old school as I have been doing for a while already. just a little bit past the range of my lens.... you can see the eagle quite clearly in this shot. 600mm and a small crop on the edges The largest orange nebula at the bottom Left.

From the foreground to the background. South Perth Apartments, the Mounts Bay Sailing club at Crawley (Just behind high rise), all the white boats Perth Flying Squadron Yacht Club, then there is the cover of Point Walter just under the cranes of the Fremanlte Harbour, then the blue of the Indian ocean the view from 22 floors up.

Looking at one of my older set of photos With Starless, panorama made of three photos and in space that is not easy. Hint the horse is top right and upside down Jupiter on its back. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Horse_(astronomy)

Just a weed we try to get rid of but quite a nice flower.

The last and I believe the best of the three so much hidden details compare with the original shot. I am enjoying this shot as it should be full screen as my background.

This was made out of the same shot as the first one all this detail is behind the stars when you remove them. The trick is adding back some stars took me all afternoon ( Well Its Bucketing down with rain why not). Enjoy a real part of hidden space. PIP the original photo with all the stars.

my sister in law has some starting to open out. a truly beautiful flower BUT no scent sadly.
