There seems to be something adrift with the little compass thingy in the top right of the screen - looks to be about 90 degrees out of sync with the view as the road runs more or less due south of the camera position and there is only sea to the north.

At the moment I am deciding which of my Hawaiian shirts to take for the obligatory selfie when I get there. We didn't do the North Cape excursion but instead spent our time having a good look round Honningsvag (which has an excellent little museum - don't miss it if you get a chance to visit) but it did mean appropriate gear as there was snow on the ground and a lot more coming down in occasional intense showers of the stuff).

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted September 27, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2015 Correction its about 1 AM not 3. Starts at 0110, totality from 0311 to 0424, ends 0624. (London, I assume!) Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) We know it's not really weather but it's still worth a snap so I took my compact out into the garden about 45 mins ago and snapped G-TAWU (PMI > NCL) approaching Newcastle. It landed six minutes later. I forgot about the washing line. A pretty crap effort but it's a little bit misty outside. P Edit: Well I was going to go out and have an attempt to take another few pics but it's developed into a right pea souper out there so bu**er it. To bed. The Stellarium Free programme for PC gives pretty accurate screen shots I'll make do with that. Edited September 28, 2015 by Porcy Mane 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of exposure did the camera need? At least you made the effort, even though I awoke in the middle of the night I couldn't be bothered!

Porcy Mane Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) That's not bad at all. What sort of exposure did the camera need? Thanks, Nikon Coolpix 7700, in manual, manual focus, ISO 80, 8 seconds @ F4.5. Taken at 04:02 BST. It really isn't that good. Zooming into the moon on the originals show how much movement there is in the moon during 8 seconds. I took about six pixs prior to establish exposure but even those I took at high ISO's and short shutter times are very soft due to the heavy mist that was developing. I knew the plane was due and it's approximate approach profile and fortunately it turned up bang on time.
