I saw all of the hype about April 21 but a neighbours fence lined with 30+ feet high trees didn't offer much chance. I looked on Stellarium and despite it showing it above the horizon it failed to take the mountain directly west of me into account, Plus I want the shed it always shows directly behind me..
I've now decided I'll wait until there's no moonlight.
I did take my original model Megrez 80SD out with the Nikon D810, focused using the moon (I don't normally hook a camera up to the little travel Megrez)and a pair of binoculars on another tripod hoping to spot it but looking at the images Rob has taken I'm probably better off with my Nikkor 80-200 F2.8 ED lens instead of a small scope (80mm 400 focal length I think).
