That came out well Stu! I was up in Stoke visiting family so missed the blue skies, I did briefly see the crescent moon with the binoculars when we got back but the cloud was building again. Cloudy so far this Monday, hoping it might break later...

Thanks, Alexandra. It was a frustrating morning with too many wispy clouds and patches of cumulus. It was nice when it was clear though. :)
