LIKE THEM OR LOATHE THEM, MUSIC VIDEOS OF ALL GENRES HAVE EVOLVED INTO THEIR OWN ARTFORM - DISCUSS....

I'm sure you're like me.......spend time on the internet looking at something specific, then an hour later you're immersed in something totally different, and wonder......how did I get here? I've done this today with music videos. First I was looking at L'Arc en Ciel videos for their recent O2 gig in London, then ended up with Slipknot, Mushroomhead and a variety of Nordic thrash death metal bands that I can't even pronounce.......yes indeed.....how did I get here? What took my attention though was the imagery, artwork and storytelling - love the music or loathe it, the production value in some of these videos is incredible. I felt like a voyeur looking in through the misty windows of a downtown nightclub upon a scene that intrigued me, but silently I knoew I'd never have the guts to walk in throgh the door and join in - not even with my Heavy Rock and Metal background when I was Younger. Another asimile would be like my being a dedicated Biker watching Hells Angels ride past - intrigued, but not of that persuasion. You get my drift? So, I've compiled some of these videos, and will keep adding from time to time - a sort of 'Gallerie du Cirque de Metalique' (forgive my rubbish Franglaise). Watch, enjoy, recoil, revere.....and I'd be interested to hear your views regarding the Artistry of the mediums used and the effectiveness of the pieces as a whole to 'move' you, the viewer; be it in a good or bad way. Thank you. Mark

VIDEO REPORT FROM LAST NIGHT'S DEVELOPMENTS ON THE NORTH WALES COAST

MY FIRST TRY AT ASTRO PHOTOGRAPHY

Well, it didn't quite go as planned - the CCD webcan worked quite well but there was a lot of interferance - I've not tried stacking the photos yet, but will see if htey can be improved. Still mastering the settings on AstroCApture software too.

Unfortunately it confirmed what I'd always known - my telescope is fine for the Moon, but not good enough for planets.

Jupiter, Venus and Mars were all out on Sunday night in a very clear sky, and all I could get was blurry white dots........so I've been scouring EBay for 200mm+ Reflectors/Dobsonians ever since.

Kicking myself that I let a Meade 16" Lightbridge get away that sold for less than £200. Don't have a big budget to blow, so will keep looking for now. Need autotracking too - I know it's a big ask but.....

Will be out again next clear evening to try again. Have left the scope in the garage to 'condition' too.

Will upload some images soon.

May the force be with me !
