I’m not one of those people who usually rushes outside at the thought of seeing something celestial. I think I once peered through the window when someone mentioned there was a comet, and I have been known to stop and stare at the heavens on drunken nights walking home, but I’ve never seen The Sky At Night or an eclipse.

Well that was until last night. I didn’t realise there was one even going on until I was told, and I thought it would be an appropriate moment to fish out the new lens. I managed to get a few really good photos, much better than I ever thought you could using a standard lens.

Anyway, this one is my favourite.
