It seems that this Friday will be a good night for Moon pictures.

There's also The Geminid meteor shower. It's said upto 100 an hour will fly past and should be seen with the eye if looking away from the moon..

BUT "Of course, it will be behind a cloud..."

Shame about cloud cover, metoffice radar and infrared shows quite a bit of cloud cover, otherwise i'd have been out with the 600 and a pocket full of teleconverters again lol
