I cannot be blamed for the weather just yet, my new mount hopefully arriving soon, Cris told me it should be leaving Austria in maybe a week or two. So in a month you can hate me for the rain over the next full moon  |
that is pretty exciting news Col, you have timed it well for full moon though so i can't go too hard on you

In thumbnail 1 it's hard to see 6188 because there is a big red raptor in the way. Very sharp beak, too.
Moon: We stared at a crystal clear sky last night, wanting to do some short subs of M8, but the moon was coming straight down the barrel, so it was movies and puzzles by firelight. You did very well.
Been missing your images. Glad you're back in the saddle.
Best,
M & T

haha thanks for the comments M&T
hmm i see both a rocking horse and border collies ears, my initial reaction was ears, but then could see that you were probably would have the rocking horse head on the left side with that star for its eye.
fingers crossed the weather clears up and for a few consecutive nights and i'll do my best to make up for the lack of images
