Thanks Fi! Yes I was pleased they came out so clear after hearing about the problems other people were having. I waited but it was OK cos I was watching Match of the Day

Thanks Mark. It's that lens

, sharp as, especially when I took some earlier pics of the moon at about 8:00, before it became dark and longer exposures were necessary.

Hehehe, yes I know that attitude. It's possibly the worst thing anyone can do to touch your tripod on a long exposure

Well done for manoeuvering during the party! Oh and happy birthday to your sister!

I'd have been happy with c**p but they didn't get that far!

I think I was lucky, I mean, it was completely clear, even though I was shooting through a window.

They can't have been that bad! If they get anywhere near your landscapes.....
