    May 10/11 2011. Startrail showing the opposing curvature above and below the celestial equator. I increased the focal length to around 40mm pointing due south for this shot. It picks up the individual star colours far better than wider angle shots. Captured with Oly E5 & 12-60mm SWD lens which was left outside from 2200hrs to 0700hrs the following morning shooting continuous 15s frames. The cloud rolled in approx 1/2am so only about 3/4 hrs worth of frames in all. Composite put together in startrail software.
    April 23 2011. ISS passing over my home (Lutterworth, Leics) 2214 - 2218 hrs. I got lazy tonight & threw the camera in the garden with a fisheye lens ;-) The ISS rose above the SW horizon passing through Gemini/Cancer (almost touching Pollux) and near Ursa Major (Plough). Captured with Oly E5 & 8mm fisheye. 12 images @ 15s F4 stacked.
    Evening/morning of April 22/23rd April 2011. Lyrids meteor watch. Pretty poor showing really although caught one small Lyrids meteor streak (approx 1 o'clock). Half decent star trail with a few clouds streaking (in red). Captured with Oly E5, 12-60mm SWD. Approx 1000 images stacked.
