    Paul, the quality of your video journals is improving with every offering. After the hustle and bustle of the week I love nothing better than to sit still on a Sat/Sun and watch your Astro offerings. Bon voyage on the next trip. Look forward to it as always. Dave

    Excellent images to round off an enjoyable film! The time and effort you put into these (especially the intros) really shows through in the finished result

    Beautiful astro journal, thank you Paul. I'm so pleased Cornwall gave you clear skies and thank you for showing my homeland off to everyone and doing it justice. I love all your images but especially love your startrails image. Your Orion image came out wonderfully well considering the clouds. I hope you and your family enjoyed your time here in Cornwall and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. All the best and thank you again.

    Cornwall looks great at night and you got some fantastic shots there. Love the H-Alpha in Orion that came out good after all!! Blending the red into the RGB image can't be easy either! I hope to get star trails as well as you captured them too! Excellent work Paul. :)

    Fabulous stuff Paul ! The cinematic intro was worth the entry fee on its own. You've clearly put a huge amount of work into this video and deserve a lot more recognition. I was trying to work out when you filmed this, then I saw your very clever shot of Orion above the finger post. Love it. Many thanks for sharing.

    I guess it must of been the Bruce Forsyth pose that didn't get photographed. superb video and photographs, really taking it up a level.
    Cornwall is a truly special place and holds a lot of special memories with life long friends. Sennen Cove especially, I remember surfing there at sunset when a pod of dolphins showed up and gave us a lesson. We gave up and just watched in awe. To keep the spiritual theme of that night going we then went on for a food fight at a meadowy in Penzance, where I had my nose broken by a roasted chicken leg.
    thanks for bringing back some incredible memories.

    Paul, I live in Tacoma, WA, USA. It is a lot like the UK except wetter. We have Puget Sound which is a lot like what I see in your photos. I have been to the UK years ago and it felt like home. I had to to see Stonehenge twice to get photos of it. I loved it there. We ave a replica of Stonehenge in the south of Washington along the Columbia River. It is as a complete replica would have looked like. It is a monument to WW1 Soldiers who died in the war from Klickitat County, Wa. I have been to both. Washington State is a lot like the UK. WE have a great Soccer team (Football) in Seattle. The climate is the same. I thought the UK was rather dry. Lol. ❤

      Thanks for your comment, Bill - fascinating. I used to visit Seattle quite a bit and always enjoyed it, but never managed to get further afield into the more rural parts of the state or elsewhere in the PSW. Definitely somewhere I'd like to revisit though, more slowly this time!

So much variation in video material and thoughtfully processed. Absolutely stunning! Shame on that mic at the end though. Stuff will always happen, right? 😅

    Great video as always Paul, and a great place to take them from love Cornwall, on your time lapse of orion did you have the Halpa in your train, because you could see Bernard's loop in it then.

    • @nightscapejournals
      @nightscapejournals  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much, Bill. The Orion timelapse was actually taken with an unmodified Canon 6D but quite a fast lens. I was surprised too that Barnard's Loop was detectable! I would love to have done it with the modified 6D, but I needed that for shooting the main tracked image. Need more cameras!!
