@DavidBflower Lyra for me, stunning. Although Orion is a close second :)

@YorkshireWP It was May Spring Bank Holiday 2018, now I have looked into it.

[Victoria Bennett @vicky050373]

@YorkshireWP We were fortunate to see him as quite a young baby during our visit to The Highland Wildlife Park a couple of years ago. Would it have been summer 2018? I lose track of the years.

@TimCosmos @hellospacething @AstUnit I have pre-ordered the book but I think the audio version may just be a must have. Well done on the book Tim, I look forward to reading it.

@AstroBackyard Yup, I've just clicked to follow you. Victoria Bennett.

@hellospacething I love the policeman's face. He's loving it :)

My first noctilucent clouds (NLCs)! Viewed and imaged from my back yard in Horbury on Friday 21st June at around 10.45pm. Thrilled to have finally seen them, and what a display it was for my first. Note the pinky hues. Absolutely beautiful :)

@ClearSkyWanted I also don't mind at all if people want to share my images, especially if it encourages others in this hobby. But, as you say, they should be properly credited.

[Victoria Bennett @vicky050373]

@ClearSkyWanted Unfortunately, I had to remove a group I was following on Facebook as they posted one of my images without any credit, plus they had cropped out my details. When I confronted them about it they said it was a mistake and promptly added the credit. But, it was too late then really.

[Victoria Bennett @vicky050373]

@ClearSkyWanted Have you any watermarks present? I'd be asking the question on their post if you can prove it is yours. Name and shame There is too much of this going on in this hobby, and it is often only pure chance that we see it.

[Victoria Bennett @vicky050373]

@YorkshireWP @Dotster1999 seeing this mum and baby was the highlight of our visit last week. Totally adorable.

[Victoria Bennett @vicky050373]
