aww sorry about that Haggler, hopefully the next time it's a clear night. and well I saw part of it. my mom came and got me to see it because I had forgotten all about it. I got to see the latter stages.

i spent ages working out best setting on the camera as well ! still i did get to see a badger so it wasnt all bad .

Here in Chicago it was fine, too bad my camera doesn't have a large zoom...

And on 1 August, 2008 there is a total solar eclipse, the first since 1999. I think it's an omen. :D

[haggler]

and unless you live in northern canada or the arctic or a bit of china /mongolia you will not get to see that either . best in chicago will be partial so it will not darken or get cold and you will not get much of a view with camera it will look as if a bites been taken out of it
