Thanks for the heads up!!

I just checked Stellarium (cant understand those grids too much) and it should be quite good, if its clear.

Also, just to the right of the moon is Neptune. What kind of exposure would it take to get neptune???? Do we have any pics of it anywhere??

Cheers

Got a couple of hours last night in N Devon, skies cleared about 2200 after a horrible day. The eclipse was at about 25% and reducing, by 2330 it had completely gone. Not the first one I've seen but well worth the wait. Didn't think to take any photos, was just standing there thinking "that's the shadow of our planet"!!
