Daffodils, Narcissus pseudonarcissus
Some local flowers, interviewed yesterday by our intrepid reporter. We ask the tough questions they didn’t want to answer.
Primroses, Primula vulgaris
Forget-me-nots, Myosotis sylvatica
Grape hyacinths, Muscaria armeniacum
This was taken with my DSLR mounted on the telescope tube, and using the telescope’s motor drive to track the sky for a five minute exposure (click to embigulate). We have looked at the Pleiades before, but I’m quite pleased with this picture because it brings out some colours, and a tree in my garden managed to sneak into the frame. You can see that the tree blurs slightly as though it’s moving; actually, the tree stayed still, while the camera and the sky moved.
