ChrisKotsiopoulos wrote:Lulworth Cove is a cove near the village of West Lulworth, on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site in Dorset, southern England. Apart from its unique geomorphology it is an ideal target for Winter Solstice photography. From this vista it spans 115 degrees across the southern horizon whereas the Sun covers 103 degrees from sunrise to sunset at this latitude during the shortest day of the year.

Five photos stacked during the whole day at 20/12/2015, two days before the Winter Solstice.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

That is a superbly executed image!! Well done and Merry Christmas to you too :D

How much astronomy can you get in a single photo taken from a drone!

Here we see a full moon rising on Christmas day, surrounded by anti-crepuscular sun rays and on the belt of Venus (The Earth’s rising shadow).

Seasons greetings from Australia everyone :)

I swear i hadn't planned this! Visited Paris for Christmas without special photographic equipment, just with a 20x compact camera. The Christmas full moon had other plans, despite the fact that the sky was mostly covered by clouds. When i arrived at the bottom of the Tower, the sky cleared up and the moon appeared perfectly aligned to the middle of the tower, facing southeast! Full moon altitude was favorable too, so i also took a picture of the tower with the full moon as a Christmas star on top.
