I haven't got a good enough camera for a photo. Pity. :)

Re: Is Your Camera Ready ?
 
Amazing, huh?

Through binoculars, it looked like a 3D ball, rather than just a disc.

Well, I can't see bugger all. :disturbd:

It looks like the blokes who built this house decided to give my neighbour the full benefits of a room with a view.

It might be a good idea to go outside...

Clouds cleared just to miss totality by mere minutes. Still a spectacular sight though.

That's your upper class tramp. :p:

I still can't see the damn thing, have looked out of the back and front windows, and the side window. Guess which way I can't see. :disturbd: And I aint going outside, sod that for a lark. And even if I did, there are two huge tree's there, which means I'd have to walk round to the next estate to get a good view, and I'm really not that keen to do it lol.

A truly spectacular phenomenon! Started here in deepest, darkest Cornwall around 9.30pm. Unfortunately we had a very watery moon last night. Nevertheless undaunted, had my trusty camera at the ready, and diligently took snaps every 10 minutes or so, hoping to suitably impress everyone with my efforts. However there was one star that outshone them all, Altis, you photos are absolutely superb! Just for a laugh here is my puny efforts....
