Thanks for the invite to last night's activities, Bryan and Charlie. It was quite interesting trying out using lamp and sheet rather than trapping. I've uploaded some of my shots to a Photobucket album. Hopefully this link will let you see them: https://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff53/Jim...

A brilliant night with lots of activity right from the word go. I have still lots to identify, but have managed some, thanks in the main to the Townsend/Waring Concise edition.
