    After being annoyed missing the Aurora recently, I saw there was a clear night. I decided to leave the camera running over night and see what was above my garden. Considering several street lights nearby, I was happy with the result. I put the pictures through some free startrail software and bingo! This was the result using 490, 10 second exposures every 5 seconds!

    It's been rare this April for the sun to be shining but a few Sunday's ago around mid-morning I decided to walk to the local park. The sunlight was harsh so I found a shady area and spotted this curious robin beautifully framed with some backlit lighting. Shot on a SONY alpha 7iii f / 5.6 1/2000sec ISO 2000 434mm. Stourbridge.
