It seems for us that it is going to be at some ungodly hour of the morning

Pete's photo/montage last time was brilliant. It'll e good to see what photos are about this time

Looks like it starts here around the time I normally get up. I may get up a bit early that morning to have a shufty - maybe even get some piccies if the sky is clear enough.

Oh balls. I sold mine. I'm down to 200mm, technically. I'm not sure what I'll get if its really late.

you'll have to pick up extension tubes now!

btw... i might go pick up a 40d + 17-85mm later

I have extension tubes, but they're for macro. What I'd need would be a 1.4x or 2x teleconverter. However, for 1 evenings use its hardly worth £200 odd.
