Thanks Adam. Very kind if you to post this so cheers mate. 

It came as a bit of a shock I admit. I wasn't expecting it at all so it totally made my day when i found out ☺️ 

Alas, I don't get to take too many photos these days. This was my most recent one, and it was from last October! 😕 I really need to get my mount back so I can get back in the game. It's been over 6 months months now...☹

The Irish times describes it as a “mosaic”, so must have been multiple exposures of different parts of the sky. 
 

Total width is of FORTY FULL MOONS!!

Excellent. I have a 383 and the Samyang but not the skill or patience lol.
