Got my first sighting tonight and a photo to remember the experience

. It is very hazy here but at least the clouds left (I am on the river flat near the Clarence River at the moment) I thought it would disappear so I banged some off, poor focus, dust still on the sensor on a camera tripod not fit for anything..but I am happy I saw it at least but only just. Shot with a 300d ,standard lens, 1600 iso and 800 various images of various exposures managed to bring out something at least for the memory but not a good shot on any level.. but there is hope for tomorrow night the way its clearing
