Got the camera set up a couple km down the road and taking photos every 10 mins. Have to wake up at 1AM to adjust the exposure, then adjust again an hour later. Trouble is, it's starting to cloud over :(
Fingers crossed it's just passing :crossed:

*sigh*

Beautiful warm, clear night.

But... I didn't see any darkening/eclipse of the moon through until 2AM. When I went down to adjust exposure around then there was dew on the lens also.

Bugger! Will have to wait for another one.
