Hi
managed to get one image this holiday weekend after all the cloud, rain & finally today the hailstones, the clouds parted and left a lovely clear night,
(pity the garden was waterlogged to get the scope set up) so took a photo instead.

Tony,

That is a nice photo. I noticed the wonderful sky at 10pm. I had toyed with the idea, all day, of putting all the gear onto the garage roof, as I can't see in that direction from the garden. The idea did not go down too well as it was thought I may make holes in the roof!
I was sick as a parrot when I saw the perfect sky.
