I'll to check the forecast, and if there's any chance of seeing it I'll go to bed early and get up for this, along with #2 who is interested in astronomy (well, he's an 8-year old boy who got a cheap telescope from his grandfather for Christmas).
Now I've just got to figure out what exposure time I'll need for this, as I expect it'll be too dark to have it on automatic (although AC's Nikon F3 house does go quite far up, IIRC), and find the 210mm lens.
Yes, I suspected as much. This site seems to know what they're talking about, and unlike the first few I browsed to it doesn't expect you to hook the camera up to a telescope, so I'm making a note of it here.
