Great video and I loved the music. I hope you can catch a glimpse of the moon tonight. As for me, we're in for steady rain all weekend!

hi iasabelle a think the rain is here for a couple a days it was by chance a saw the orange glow in the north east mars is next on the cards /venus hope you both well

I think it will be raining here for awhile. Although my stargazing is shot, I am quite relieve that the soil is wet. We've had problems with forest fires in the past and I need to do some major traveling soon!

I for one love seeing Venus with my telescope since it it the first planet I saw.

cool a will try to night its starting to clear woth 44% chance of cloud so its not looking great a want to try mars as wll as jupiter was brill the other night i have never seen the moon vertical they normaly left to right as you look any way we shall see what tonight as in store

well the clouds rolled in as per normal and were getting a mini heat wave this week so clear nights but a fear the turbulence might spoil things

Hi Pat, great to talk to you the other day, gee these pikkies are somewhat different since you modded the camera- the weather here is still not good - clouds clouds and more clouds - I have made a bracket for my Finepix camera - have found that if I set it onto firework mode I can manually set the focus to infinity the only snag is the max exposure is 4seconds but when I ihave some clear skies I will give it a go.

Cheers Paul
