Tried to make an observation last night using an ATIK long exposure camera and 40mm 1.8 lens combination.4.5 deg FOV Conditions were good to the north where the expected pass would be about 20 degs. Winds however were gusting 40-50 kts . Because of the wind I had been unsure whether to attempt camera obs , but decided to give it a go. High winds and a flimsy camera tripod dont mix ! As I turned to switch on the laptop , a gust took the tripod across the paved area and smashed camera and lens to the floor :O(( Camera case is broken...lens looks a write off..........and of course no pics. Not a good day at the office.
