ten minute trifid
I've been a bit glib with a poster on here about their trifid, maybe being a little arrogant - for that I apologise.
I've been holding on to this one for a week, waiting for some more data but decided to post it anyway as the weather seems to be pointing towards cloud and the expectations of being able to extend the data this season is very low.
Reason being, I'm off on holiday before the moon wanes and it will be a while before I get to do any AP
So here is my 2 x 5 min subs with one 5 minute dark - it is uncropped

Re: ten minute trifid
Very nice Jennifer. Great shot. I just saw the trifid for myself just a few nights ago, but it was sure nothing like that.Tom
