This is a strange image. As an astronomer of over 40 years, I am forever looking up. I spotted two bright objects in the sky moving very slowly but heading for each other, I thought they were high altitude planes. I was convinced they were on a collision course. I grabbed the camera, set it on max zoom (x48) and to my surprise I found they were two lots of helium filled balloons that had been released. I was happy to get the image and thought I'd share it!!
