Nice pics DS thanks for sharing.
I managed to catch a glimpse of it when it was at about the mid point of your diagram when I stopped at the Duty Free store on my way home from a family reunion where I met about 75 distant relatives I had never met before :o ::) ??? :-[ :-*:-\ ;D :D.

I had to give up at 0300....  I work in the day ;)

Would have been nice to see it from the cleaner skies up at Higland Valley!
