Hi all,

I was thinking about heading to the ASV public viewing with some friends at Ikea so that I can speak with people about their equipment and perhaps look through a few scopes, as well as take a few photos plus testing out my new binoculars.

I will be taking our Nikon D80 (with 18-200mm lens) and my camera tripod but have not decided what shot(s) to take. The moon will not look very large in the 200mm lens so though to take some sort of "time-lapse" "wide field" photos.

Some questions, though:
- What sort of foreground is viewable from the Ikea site? Obviously not the nice tropical island that the MrEclipse site has...
- I believe there is a large fluorescent sign nearby, perhaps to the East. is that going to cause any problems?

cheers,
DJDD
