Daughter’s daily update from her honeymoon in Vietnam. I’m thinking the fish sauce factory for the high point.

 i just realised I took 15,000 images during last night's auroral display. Here's another one, this taken at 00:27 with an exposure of 2.5 seconds. #Beauty #aurora #astronomy #newzealand

 I may have slightly gone a bit batshit crazy when the sky did this at Lake Aviemore last night.  This is a fisheye lens image during the height of the display. Seriously. WOAH!  #aurora #astronomy #auroraaustralis #NewZealand #beauty

 Thinking about Arsenal vs Citeh on Monday morning. if Reya plays in Goal I’m going to be not naming an asteroid after Arteta ever. Reya has no heart. Play Ramsdale. #arsenal 

 Decided to take the high road into Dunedin today. Packed my Infrared camera just for larks. Here's a view looking down the harbour. i love how trees look in the IR! #NewZealand #DunedinNZ

 Blue sky at night; auroral delight. Despite the best efforts of the waxing gibbous moon last night. the aurora australis put on a bit of a display at 9:40pm. Some reds and a hint of green are visible despite the intense blue sky caused by scattered moonlight. Can you see the Eta Carina Nebula too? #aurora #auroraaustralis  #astronomy #NewZealand

 So back in March I set up an @thesolarcan puck on a shed in my back garden facing towards my house. It recorded every sunset when the sky was clear, reflected by the windows of my home! You can also see a couple of ghostly tripods where I set up telescopes for solar observing! #pinholephotography #pinhole #NewZealand #solarcan

 The second in my new series "Trees of the Otago Peninsula in the IR". One of the amazing things you can do when living on the Peninsula is shoot pictures like this on the way back from your weekly shop! #trees #OtagoPeninsula
