Taken on the 9th of November 09 on a cloudless night at 6pm. I didn't have much time before the forecasted clouds came over (do I believe the forecasters'). Fog was already rolling in across the road as I entered the village. I used the 80ED with the WO AFR4 as I'd just taken a series of SAO68943 Chi Cygnii for John Cox to follow. and use the same kit for that. The sky remained clear throughout. I'd...

Word is Rep. Eric Cantor is going to do "Hardball" with Chris Matthews and then "Hannity" on Fox News ... and somewhere along the way we will see him here in the media area. There is no "bloggers row" tonight ... we're here with the regular media ... citizen journalists reporting. Huge cheers from the crowd as the results so far flashed up on the huge TV screens.
