Wow!! that's beautiful :bow :bow I think I agree a little with Rainer's comment but then we are pushing the limits of what natural colour is on the Moon, and the point is to over do it to see it :) I would love to do this and now I have the SeeStar I am in with a good chance.

Third attempt with the SeeStar

On Wednesday evening when I drove home from work it was lovely clear sky. It remained during teatime and when it got dark enough I rushed into the back garden to see if I could find Pons/Brooks.

Re: Vernal Equinox

It still looks chilly there Brian ;) you have such long winters. We have had a very benign winter (cold wise) but one of the wettest on record. If you don't like mud, don't come to the UK at the moment. All the blossom is out now though and hasn't been ruined by any frost, so it is looking its best ...
