# OHIO!!
It's ace here. Why, just last night, the moon went all ruddy and nearly disappeared. It was spooktacular!

I'll bet you didn't see anything like THAT last night!

I heard the space scuttle landed safely and they blew up a satellite too. Did that happen over there too?

# No I bloody didn't.
And I got the big telescope out ( big job ) and acclimatised the lenses. This was after the newspersons told me that the best place in the whole of Britain to see it would be Cheshire which is my back yard. Come 2:30 am this morning and it is overcast and turning foggy. I was fuming.

# I briefly saw some
partial coverage around 2:35 but nothing worth setting up the scope, camera and computer for so I just had another beer and sulked off to bed.

# Was that a photo of you and your setup I saw posted last night?
Tough break, mate. It was quite a sight, I have to admit. And I was fortunate in that my hotel window faced east so I could see it without freezing my arse off.

# That photo was not mine
but an identical Meade 7" AP refractor.
