After a lovely day exploring local beaches and doing some scope repairs, some of our members are settting up to see what can be seen tonight on our trip to Lligwy! Hoping for clear skies, not too much wind and a good showing from the Lyrids 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟

Just to show what's possible with just a camera. Taken from my bedroom window last night about 11.30pm, hand held F/4 at 1/20th sec, ISO 800 with my Sony RS10mkIII bridge camera... admittedly using the window frame to steady myself! Trevor Cotterell. #red moon #Astrophotography
