Nice one Andrew, lovely viewing weather Saturday

Cheers Malcolm. The weather was fantastic. A little cloud right at the eclipse but overall excellent viewing!

I've thrown up an album on imgur of some of my better shots as well. No processing, I haven't even rotated any images. Still, I thought I'd put them up.

Cheers h0ughy. That Nexstar mount I picked up from you ages ago worked quite well for this!
