Gorgeous clear night in Kendal tonight, the Moon looked spectacular in my 4.5" scope. Took some pix, didn't turn out too bad...
Saturn looked really nice too, with at least 3 of the "other" moons visible. -------------------- |

...okay, Dan, that made my wife draw the shades...
Nice pic, Stu. Was that an eyepiece shot, or did you mount a cam at the objective? (Sigh.) I gotta drag my Celestron 8 out to the Mojave when I have time...the light pollution in LA just plain sucks. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

(Sigh.) I gotta drag my Celestron 8 out to the Mojave when I have time...the light pollution in LA just plain sucks. The Moon and the planets cut through light pollution fairly well. I run a quarterly "star party" in my neighborhood, and people are constantly amazed by what they can see on the moon. It's a quite pretty object! -------------------- Space Enthusiast Richard Hendricks
