Thank you Graham, much appreciated, you are much further advanced with the season than we are, despite the Gulf Stream we benefit from.  We are still getting very cold winds and some nights frost.

I went out last Friday night before the more severe lock down, took some star trails in the Duddon Valley at Ulpha but not particularly good, I need more practice and I really should be recording my methods rather than re-learning them each year... with all the inevitable wasted journeys and lost opportunities on a glorious night.  Half the sessions are wasted while I fumble to remember what the optimal settings are for given conditions.

Speaking of recording stuff, is anybody keeping a (photographic) diary of their experiences and observations during this pandemic?  There are some remarkable images of normally crowded space being deserted. Like one person stood in front of Buckingham Palace, for example.
