Thanks Matt. I managed to get out last night for the 1st time in yonks but unfortunately clouds came in from the SE at the wrong moment.
I was trying out the Canon 40D on the Mewlon 180 and after seeing your post (thanks!) I fitted the DMK and just about got everything re-configured and set up for 11:55pm, grabbed an AVI and the clouds came in. The Moon was visible through the clouds but imaging was out of the question. I packed up around 1:00am as the high cloud had begun to thicken.
I hope Ron managed to see the egress, as Regulus would have looked spectacular popping out of the dark limb.
I did get to see Regulus very close to the limb through the finder scope!
Cheers
Dennis
