    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.
