Hi all
Missed entry and egress but it cleared mid transit, here are some of my 10 inch shots.
The closeup was a video run with the 600D, as well as a series of stills stacked.
10 insh f5.6 newtonian, which had to be regularily taken off the mount and put inside when it rained, a plastic garbage bin covered the mount. It was showery all day with some clear patches.

Love the full disc image.... :thumbsup:

Was garbage weather wasn't it!.... I carted my ED80 and a camera tripod to work, had two short viewing sessions, some good views through the sucker holes..... Happy to have seen it at all in the end....
