Hi,All
1)Thanks Gary for the upload.
2)A non-spectacular partial eclipse just after comet pannstar appearance.Initially the sky was very
clear,so decided to image it;however at 4am clouds started to roll in and in around 5 min,covered
the whole sky.Waited till 4:30am but clouds get thicker instead and ultimately rained.Disappointed
as cannot photo the whole event. [smilie=crying2.gif]
