Glad to see you back if only for a brief visit.


Unlike the Fat One, I actually use my telescope!!

This is a recent examplehttp://www.lanode.com/priv/astro/m64.jpg


Great pic. Is that really NGC4826?

Yes, of course it is. I'm almost insulted that you should ask!! However,
I must admit that it has been very difficult to get enough exposure on
anything this year. Clouds seem to be present on about 5 nights out of
seven.




My sailing has been limited for the last couple of years, because my
teenage
sons were too old to come sailing with us, and they were too young to
leave
at home unsupervised!! This year, we are going sailing again. My wife
has
actually asked to go out on the boat. What more could a man want?


A new boat!

I want a Malo 42. My wife isn't so keen.



Regards
