Hi all

It’s a beautiful day with great seeing down here in SE England. I only do visual, no AP but here is a photo of Bella, my Solar Dog. She always sits with me when I get the scope out.

Anyone else got a Solar Pet?

Cheers

John

Hi James

That is one chilled out cool cat. Lily looks so relaxed.

Lily is a common sight around the scopes. Salem, our big black Maine Coon cat occasionally joins her.
