Unfortunately, I would be out of town and will not be able to attend the Christmas luncheon November 30. Kent Blackwell

There isn't much to see on a full moon night except a few double stars and planets. The seeing was what I'd rate 7/10, typical of the winter skies. List: 24/11/16 Takahashi TOA 150 Full Moon Polaris -

Most happy. I am surprised (or maybe not) that this did not get a bit wider dissemination. But Neptune being a bit remote can be hard to distinguish for a star at a glance. We do have a better

Awesome catch. Thanks for sharing.

Mars currently is 10 arc seconds in diameter. Enough to start to work. By the end of December it will be 14 arc seconds, a bit short of almost 50% more in size. That should be more than enough to get

Excellent shot Ian. Like those ice crystals in the atmosphere. Not too often you see a full circle as well defined as that.

Cool! We got the clouds but not the dog.

Quite a nice moon dog last night here. Moon Dog 111324 ( https://ianstewart.zenfolio.com/p430591459/h18469ab#h18469ab )

Quite bright last night. I did get in a little time on it but seeing was only 7 out of 10. Good moments but you had to work for it. I was tired after my inventory of the? planets so had to work up a

Nice view of Mare Humorum and Gassendi last night. Can't see it in the picture but at 400x the Rilles in Gassendi were visible. Moon 111224 (

The moon is a mere 8 million times brighter

So typical of Vixen. I agree maybe an alt az would do bit better as far as flexibility but I sure am glad mercury stayed where it was in the eyepiece. If it was moving I am not sure if I could track

Just finished an inventory of the solar system started last night at 8 and then finishing just now with Venus and Mercury daytime sightings. Venus is fairly easy to see during the daytime with a

That was a wide brightness gap. I have to laugh as the FOV in the picture makes Neptune look on this side of the moon. We are in for a surprise in that case. It is either a lot smaller than advertised

It was fun last night looking at tight double stars in my refractor, but the highlight of the night was seeing the moon occult Neptune. List: 24/11/11 Takahashi TOA 150 HD 23177 (Double Star in

Nice shot, Gabriel. Sometimes afocal photography works best with such wide variable brightnesses objects such as the moon and Neptune.

250,000 miles for the moon compared to 2.7 billion for Neptune. Most of us don't really comprehend large numbers since we have never seen a billion of anything. So a good analogy is: 1 Million
