Thumbs up Wow!!! Look at those stats.

Just got home and logged on to IIS to see almost 900 currently at the site.

Everyone's got lunar eclipse fever!!!!

It's a new benchmark for most on-line ever at the one time at IIS. Wonder if we'll top the 1000 mark?

Now, to get outside and quickly set up the 9.25. Although to be honest I think I'll stick with the trusty 10x50 binos tonight.

Am very excited.

That was probably me. I kicked the server to do some load-balancing.
Never ever ever ever envisaged that every person in Australia would want to connect at the same time. T'is a little busy

Being overcast doesn't help. The clouds better move by 8:30!

Can't predict these things. Massive interest at IIS. How does the load balancing work?

Focus is fine, wrong size T-adapter. The moon is too big for the chip.

The site for me at the moment is running very slow could it be the the amount of users or is it just my pc?
