Forecast for here can go either way, so I'm expecting clouds with possibly heavy thunderstorms. If it's clear, I'll be outside (I'm at work tonight) on my break

Meant to be good in Scotland.
Thinking of going up a near by hill, any one know a rough time?

Is that a Caanoo in your pocket or are you just ha
I'll take my Holga outside, see if I can get anything. Probably won't show up on film, but it'll look nice if it does.
Seconding a request for a time though.

12, from what I heard.
I hope so. 5 of us are walking up a hill, and that's effort at that kinda time.

Saw quite a few really bright meteorites while I was in the back garden! So I set my holga up on a tripod. It has a function that keeps the lens aperture open as long as the shutter is held down. So I jammed that down with a piece of card, and when the Holgs was aimed at the sky I took the lens cap off. I'll leave it out there for a few hours and hopefully when the film is developed, there'll be some nice trails. Hopefully. God I love toy cameras.
I did lose my lens cap though. D:

My 8GB card died. So nope.
But it was pretty enough with my eyes, heh.

Well I saw 6 from my bedroom window. Probably would have been better without the light pollution. Was going to go out of town for it but thought that walking along the Forth and Clyde canal myself at midnight may not have been the brightest of ideas

Never been accused of being subtle
Apparently not good!

Best Comment: The clouds parted - to reveal higher altitude clouds
The Mail thought it was 'thrilling' though

but some of their pics look dodgy (as in star arcs, not meteors and last year's pics. <_<
