WOW!,it has been such a wonderful day.great to all the wonderful results-the best being-getting out there and sharing our wonderful hobby,we had some neighbours and friends all turn up and enjoy this treat.

That one child that came back to an IIS member's scope 5 or 6 times to view,is where I was 40 years ago-once well bittern by the astronomy bug-it will come back later in life.Makes it all worth while having all this gear for a unique event.

Here is an image from 2.24 pm today,through 4 inch Vixen apo refractor with a Canon 50d.
