Was a great evening for it, almost completely clear so we got a great view. There was only a couple of American ladies there to watch it plus myself so it was lucky.

You could definitely do your eyes serious damage watching it though, one of the reasons I upgraded to the Nikon D300 was it's live view mode which is excellent for this kind of thing where you can observe it on the LCD instead of having to look through the viewfinder, and take shots at various intervals.

I'm putting together an animated Gif showing the full slide down the mountainside.
