:thanx: Tabatha, Jen and Jan and many thanks Andy for the confirmation.

If the clouds clear and it is visible tonight I may get a camera out (or even the digiscope as that hasn't seen light of day since before heart attack last year)

Very low cloud so not much good I'm afraid


They have altered flickr so at the moment I cannot get the photo links :(

These are from PB as flickr still doesn't work. wouldn't care but I have a pro account at flickr and have just paid for another year :notfair:

:thanx:

FYH - I complained to fickr and they have found they can replicate my problem so there is a bug in the new system which they have passed to engineering for 'triaging' eh??

Venus was showing very well when I woke this afternoon so I hauled out the digiscope but by the time I had assembled the huge tripod it has to sit on the b.... planet had passed behind clouds :notfair:
