Here are a couple of photos taken this evening (around 5pm) with my Kodak DX6490. They're 5 separate 7/10 of a second shots @ 80 ISO overlaid in PhotoShop. The second one has a slight tweak to the contrast and brightness.

I really must get a camera that doesn't twitter about trying to focus on infinity using edge detection. Still, better than nothing.

It's an impressive sight in binoculars.

Oh, and here's our local source of light pollution - Stonehenge Golf Driving Range on Larkhill.
