        The only time I've ever seen any kind of eclipse, I had to drag myself out of bed at 10 in the morning, suffering the effects of the most appalling hangover. Went downstairs, noted that it was a bit dark and all the birds were singing and then crawled back to bed. A most unpleasant experience :-)

                          There's only one explanation- you're crazy. ;P Who'd miss an eclipse? :~ . I've seen something like 2 solar eclipses and many lunar ones.

                              Here in Phoenix the view was fantastic! Everyone in our apartment complex was out to watch - it almost turned into a street party. It probably helped that it started about 7:30 our time and was over by 11:00 :) Rob Manderson http://www.mindprobes.net

                                    Ah Nic, what a shame :rose: Very annoying for you when it's 6 months to wait till the next one. At least you won't do it again, and got to record the moment :)

                                      Ag, I wasn't expecting too much 'cause this was my first night shoot and there's lots of things to try get right. It was a nice night though :) Megan Forbes wrote: Very annoying for you when it's 6 months to wait till the next one I think I'll just practice tonight again on the full moon.

                                          There's a surprise. :rolleyes: I did see the last one though. I was in Plymouth at the time, and we all stopped work to watch it go dark. Amazing.
