    That’s wonderful. I’ve not had a clear night for at least a few weeks here in Lancaster, but I’m off to Oxfordshire tomorrow, so maybe I’ll have better luck there. Wish you hadn’t stopped using Twitter? It was how I came across your photography in the first place.

      Thanks Colin, I didn’t realise people still checked the twitter feed so I’ll try get my act together! Fingers crossed for clear skies in Oxfordshire. The comet is definitely worth staying up for. I was out till 3am last night shooting the comet from a dark sky location in the Yorkshire Wolds, so I’ll have some more photos up soon.

Noctilove is a website devoted to low light photography and astrophotography with a barn door tracker. All of the images on this website were taken without a telescope. Just a regular DSLR and lens. You'll find images of comets, meteors, galaxies and nebulae, as well as night landscapes, Aurora, noctilucent clouds, and lightning. Almost all images on the noctilove website were taken from a light polluted area of England at sea level. Far from perfect conditions! To build up the detail and to reduce noise, images have been 'stacked' with Deep Sky Stacker and processed with Photoshop to make them as pretty as possible.
