I hope that's not another one over your house Nigella I haven't had one nearer than 60 kilometres for months 

Yesterdays was 100km away but it was raining anyway.

I would really like to try to grab a picture of a transit.
Where do you get the path information?
Thanks, David.

Theres also an app for 76p! I've just had a play with my settings. Does this mean I get a solar transit tomorrow just after 11am?

Looks like it, ah Cadbury World, is that still going ? I've got a fridge magnet with picture of us on the ghost train taken when I was much younger

Yes but you can no longer see the chocolate being made as I believe you used to be able? It's about 15 minutes from us and we've only been once!

Bah! I had all set up and Sharpcap on the go. Missed this morning by 30s due to a blasted cloud! It's been sunny since!

Hiya Dave, I'm afraid it is over my house, lol. You do have to know the nasa boss to fly it over for you (if only) lol.
