#MilkyWay from #Oxfordshire 22nd May 2025. Taken with a #Canon1100D + 10-18mm lens. 25sec ISO-1600 f/4.5. 43 mages + 20 darks stacked with #Sequator. I need to stack this data again because something funky happened to the foreground!

On 1st May our Auroracam & all sky camera picked up a bright beam of blue light. We were puzzled until Pete Franklin told us about the #BlueLaserTrains. Last night the blue lasers visited us again! Here are the clips from both cameras on 1st & 29th May from #Oxfordshire UK

This terrible and mysterious fire on an old WWII airfield has claimed three lives!

Been told that these fellas are going to be running more than 110 miles from #Salford in #Oxfordshire back to Salford in Greater #Manchester, to raise money for the mental health charity Mind, with a small portion going to their boat club, in memory of their friend.

If you've got a couple of quid to put their way, why not support #TeamPorkChop?

We had eclipse glasses, projection, white light & H-alpha telescopes for people to view. We had some nice optical effects too!
