Description

It was only discovered the night before, me having to contend with a) harsh suburban light pollution and b) not so good polar alignment I didn't think id be able to see it. With the saying " you've got to be in it to win it" nagging me i set up anyway and gave it a shot. To my delight I ended up capturing it reasonably well and with most of Ireland under cloud that night I ended up being one of the first people in the country to observe it
