Hey, thanks very much for the kind words, Liz, Warren, Ric and PGC. :thanx: Slept in for once, after staying up for the shuttle launch. Spent all day in the garden watching that first quarter moon rise over absolutely perfect Winter skies. Having a quiet evening with family then might head out after moonset to try some more widefield tripod shots. I received a beautiful 1500 piece Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle representing two globes of the night sky http://www.peedeetoys.com.au/Ravensburger-1500pc-Jigsaw-Puzzle-Celestial-Map-p/mta-634266.htm
Where did the last 42 years go?

Cheers
Stephen :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Wow, that a nice jigsaw.

Perfect for those cloudy nights.

Ric, Ravensburger are the BMW's of jigsaws. Absolute precision cut pieces. Yep my dear wife had a hard time sourcing this star map one because most of their jigsaws have limited runs. They also have an "Astrology" jigsaw so I had to be very specific, otherwise it could have ended in tears. :lol:

Being in Melbourne I have plenty of jigsaws in reserve for cloudy nights. :lol: :lol:

Happy Birthday Stephen,

Best wishes,
Suzy.

Aww, thanks Suzy. :) I had a wonderful day indeed. Except in typical Melbourne fashion the clouds rolled over about an hour ago so there goes the plans for this tonight.
