Hell yeah after we had the twins and wa told it would be a 98% chance of multiples again if we had more.. Just imagine 3 lots of twins in three years that would be the death of me

Speewa you just need to mod the sun tracker to a moon tracker and mount the camera mate

Hole in the clouds and the eclipsed moon was visible but while buggerising around setting up the camera the clouds closed over.  :-[

Well I was up, had a look, and went back inside, to cold outside, as there was frost everywhere on the ground. Still cold now.

It was still quite high in the sky here at 06.15. It wasn't real bright, a bit dark and I wondered if we had a bit of fog but I don't think so, it was just dark. It was a little bit surreal and I imagined that if you didn't know what was going on, you'd have thought that the moon was at its end perhaps!

I didn't think it was bright enough to take any photos and so left the camera in its bag...
