Lovely shot Keith.

I spotted this from my bedroom window also just as the moon was dropping and Mercury chasing it hell for leather.
I got a few shots handheld out the bedroom window (no time to set up a tripod). None of them came out very well though - due to trying to hold still for 2-3 seconds. I would have totally missed it if I'd tried to set up a tripod in the garden. Sure was a nice sight though.
