Getting nearer.

I did have a false start and had to relocate.

Canon 7D 120-300 lens and a set of ladders.

First class effort and perseverance.  I'm hoping to get a few practice shots in this week weather permitting - still don't know if it will actually be visible much from here but I'd love to photograph them.

Thanks.

I intend on using a scope nearer the closest approach and if it is clear I think it will be an early afternoon daylight session for me.

Just about to take a drive up on the downs to see how low the SE view is.

We are in tier 3 so i don't think going on a trip to catch the conjunction would go down well.

Well I'm back, bit of a waste of time though as thick haze over London, couldn't see any stars have to try again at a clear sunset.
