Canon 400d with 17-40mm f4L and 70-200mm f4L lenses, tripod and remote shutter release.

And by the looks of the eclipse photos the sensor needs a good cleaning!

How did you embed your images in the post ? I tried to insert my image from Twitpic but it only stays embed for a while then gives an error GIF instead of the image.

@ Muckish, really great photos. I am just a novice(point and shoot) but might post a few more later anyway. The area looks really interesting too.:)

Twitpic is fine for uploading to Twitter but I tend to use Photobucket to store and upload my images, GIFs etc. It has a huge variety of editing functions as well so its worth giving it a try

I saw the ISS travel across the sky. Strangely moving (in the emotional sense rather than the Oh God something is wrong with it sense). Will it be visible again tomorrow night?

There's four visible passes tonight, weather permitting

Interesting to see that it's pitch dark in the Waterford photos whereas in the Donegal photos there is still daylight, both taken at around the same time.

I have a flickr account and they have a share facility where you can grab the URL for the image in question and insert that into your Boards.ie post using the insert image icon.
