And thanks for the heads-up about Tiangong 1 and Venus tonight Chris, I hadn't looked that far ahead to see the predictions. But note that it's mag +2.7, not -2.7, so you'll need a fast lens. I might try the Tamron 90mm f/2.8...

Cheers,
Stephen
do'oh sorry about the mag.still worth a shot,I checked a 6.40 pm image from area last night-with that tree etc from a previous submission-looks like it could frame up well.I'll use the 70-200 L F 2.8 at 70-f2.8.I think it might be a 8 sec exp.Should I use the camera on the tracking EQ mount or just have camera on tripod Stephen?
