    July 24/25th 2011. Close up star trail using the 12-60mm SWD lens. 15s exposures (approx 900) F2.8 ISO 300 and stacked. Great for detail :-) Captured with Oly E3. Boy is it noisy when compared to the E5 even at low ISO.
    July 15 2011. Nice bright early morning iridium flare (0320hrs) brushing past Ursa Major (The Plough). Captured with Oly E5 7-14mm. Foreground floodlit with flash bursts.
    July 14/15th 2011. An opportunity for Noctilucent clouds (NLC) and meteors. NLC have been spotted over recent nights and we are approaching Perseids meteor time of the year. What is becoming a rare clear night summer sky I set out with high hopes. Inevitable disappointment, however I did manage a half decent star trail and catch a nice meteor (see next image). Captured with Oly E5 & 7-14mm. Approx 900 exposures stacked for this one.
