Hi all

Heres a link to a 6-image composition I've just put together. Big thanx to all who joined us in Meneou beach for the event!

P.S. The AstroCyprus website, is now open, bi-lingual, and ready to show you the way towards the stars!

Yes, it can. Its a partial (prenumbral) eclipse. Doesnt matter how much of the Moon is covered :-)

Thanks very much Astroboy,

I'm thinking of purchasing a telescope and was wondering whether you have any recommendations. I'm looking at a Meade Starfinder EXT125EC (with idiot's autofinder - necessary for me I'm afraid). Any views?
