Phenomena!
I have always been fascinated by the sky, particularly on a clear starry night, and these pictures are my attempts to catch it's majesty and glory. You may have seen elsewhere on this site that I have an interest in the search for extraterrestrial life. I am inclined to think that there must be, and as is said in the film "Contact": The universe is so vast, it would be a terrible waste of space if there were not, (or words to that effect)! Either way, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

| The comet
Halle Bopp Taken in our back garden, I think I used about 20 seconds exposure. Although to looks a bit dim, I was pleased with this picture. |
Taken during the same evening, with a longer exposure. I can't work out the rainbows, it must have been some natural optical effect because this is not retouched or enhanced at all. Click to enlarge. |
