Going to try some real astrophotography tonight. Star trails, constellations and planets.

@simostronomy starBQ! Love it.
@astronomyblog I have managed to place myself in one of the few parts of Europe without any eclipse at all!
@willgater I have a Pentax digital SLR with up to 30s exposure, a Meade ETX90, a very small tripod and my MacBook. And really dark skies!
I have no astrophotography skills! Anyone got any hints or websites a beginner with a digital SLR should try out?
My attempt to see all the planets in one night is postponed to another evening. Am going to try and hone my astrophotography skills first...
Tonight, if the weather is clear, I shall try to observe all 8 planets and Pluto. They are all visible from southern Europe. Is Ceres up?
Have been accepted for publication in the Monthly Notice of the Royal Astronomical Society. And it's only taken 20 months to do it. Yippee!
Anyone know a tool which will tell you the script which is generating a core dump file? They are filling up my hosting space!
About to watch a show.

Yep CenceMe just creeped me out too much. I uninstalled. I have become suspicious of new technologies! Does this mean I'm now old?
CenceMe might be creepiest iPhone app yet. Leaving it installed for a few days to see how it goes. Facebook knows too much already!
@whatevermort The Last.fm app for the iPhone is cool but will be cooler on my 3G if it ever arrives
In a Spitzer meeting.
@whatevermort Does Russell T's honorary fellowship make your whole academic life up till now feel slightly less worthwhile? No pressure.
@whatevermort I realise its not really going to be on your mind today, but how's the 3G in the city?
Love the iPhones scientific calculator
@whatevermort Now that the government is watching my tweets: Gordon, you suck donkey balls!
@whatevermort Say there's a bomb or something. That usually clears planes very quickly :)
