    Another mobile phone image taken at 16:48 UT yesterday from near Leamington Spa. Skywatcher 100ED, 25mm eyepiece, solar disc projected on to white card and brightness/contrast adjusted with software. Seeing was reasonable but intermittent cloud cover and a gusting wind led to fun and games and much cursing.

    We had LED lights fitted around our neighbourhood a few years ago. I think the sky is not quite as bright, but if you happen to catch sight of one they can be quite dazzling. They’ve offered to fit a directional baffle for me if I feel any particular light is a problem. I’ve not yet taken them up on that (and goodness knows how long it would take before it was fitted!) but it is useful to know.
