Hi, Unfortunately not. After an hour or so of nice skies the conditions went downhill rapdily. Much low cloud but did catch a couple of good ones later in the night   Had one disaster as I downloded the images from one of the machines. It seemed to keel over and go phut. Can't get the thing to switch back on. Needs some surgery I think. Cheers, Bill. |

Alas I didn't detect either of those ones.
"Had one disaster as I downloded the images from one of the machines. It seemed to keel over and go phut. Can't get the thing to switch back on. Needs some surgery I think."
Hmmm ... vaguely reminiscent of a certain lander 300 million miles away :-(
Did you hear Eddie Mair on R4's PM programme interviewing Monica Grady ... his opening question being "So, now that you have a probe stuck where the sun doesn't shine, what next?"

No, but I have just listened to it on the bbciplayer.
Done absolutely dead pan, brilliant!!!
The other cameras were turned further north. I also tried some deep lens hoods for the first time. A bit of vignetting but much better at dealing with the street lights and security light problems.

It's at 15:04 on the BBC iPlayer at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p204j for those of you who'd like to hear it. I have to say, Eddie's delivery let's him get away with murder. |
