MY feeling precisely. I am going to be getting up nice and early every morning to check. Whereabouts are you - maybe we could meet up?

And a question - I want ti have a go at this with my H2, but highest ASA is 800 and it is quite noisy. Advice on how long an exposure I should give for the various ISO speed (100/200/400/800). I can go down to f3.5 if I am using my wide angle zoom lens.

I'm thinking I'll start out at 800 and work down ISOs as the dawn comes up.

I know that when I did the planetary/moon conjunctions earlier this year I could not get any stars to show up, and they are what makes the images so spectacular.

Any advice most appreciated.
