I have noticed though that Venus is nice and high in the sky early on and there's an opportunity to get a photo of the Moon, Venus and the Pleiades in the same frame on Thursday?<BR/><BR/>Will try to get back into things very soon.<BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/>MitchMitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784987738217435868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738736.post-28919807316782052772007-04-17T19:39:00.000+00:002007-04-17T19:39:00.000+00:00Hi Mitch are you ok have you got any observing in ...Hi Mitch are you ok have you got any observing in lately??

And the 350D has already been superceded by the 400D, this of course means that 2nd hand prices should be low. <BR/><BR/>So best advice is get something cheap off eBay to start off with!<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the ramble but I don't want you thinking that you're missing out.<BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/>MitchMitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784987738217435868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738736.post-89396504487854071942007-03-04T17:44:00.000+00:002007-03-04T17:44:00.000+00:00Great images Mitch looks like we all had a great n...Great images Mitch looks like we all had a great night.
