After a week away with work it's been great to spend a few hours on the plot this weekend. I may have gone too early on the peppers, so some extra cloche protection for them for a short time. The tomatoes are well away though! And I thought I'd put some beer out for the slugs too 😉😂

After a string of clear nights after Christmas, I had a glut of data and images to process. This the the final data set from that run. The Lobster Claw nebula. First time imagining this for me. Imaged with Altair 26c CMOS camera, 115EDT scope and processed in pixinsight. #astronomy #astrophotography

Planted up my bare root strawberry plants this afternoon. The year will be the first time we've grown them undercover. #allotment #strawberries #polytunnel
