I shall be setting the controls for the heart of the sun.... well, actually, setting the Nightingale [##] to sing at around 1:30AM.... 12.30 in temps Anglais... I have just purchased a 500mm Mirror lens... and am itching to try it out.... the Blood Moon seems a good place to start... so.. one camera with a 70-300 zoom.... another with the mirror... and the old istD with the Chinon 140mm... three cameras, three tripods... ONE remote control.... it works for all three Pentax at the same time all I have got to do is.... GET OUT OF BED when that Nightingale squawks.... cameras will be ready... coffee will have been made... "prêt á microwave"... nibbles and chocolate will be to hand... all it will need is an active human!! It is the only chance I've got... I missed 82 because of cloud... at 83 next time, I'll probably not make it downstairs before it is all over!! The fivecast for tomorrow here... AT THE MOMENT!!... is clear and crisp [10 Centipedes] so fleece jogging pants called for!! And tops, naturally... I am not that macho... ;-)
## The Nightingale is one of the alarm calls on my now useless LG Cookie... but it is, now, just a posh alarm clock, emergency camera, voice notebook [excellent] and 32GB music player... I can't unlock it in France... so was forced down the iPhone route... and can now carry BWPi, Collins, etc around... please read the next line in a Brummy accent... "Oh, what a shame!" Hope you see loads on Snuddy.... I'll be mowing a meadow... I'll have the compact camera.... that will ensure I won't get distracted!! Have a good-un, Tim
