    Good record Brian. You must have a very big lens to see Cornwall from your library...

    Had a bit of help from Jodrell Bank. The Kestrel was on a cliff top in Cornwall, only had ten minutes to set up and take some photos, this was a big crop so some of the detail is lost.

    Jodrell Bank hey Brian !!! No wonder my pics are poor in comparison have been trying to use the dish at Knocking. They always come out grainy, I can see why now ? Stunning detail for a record shot though
