With Eyes ANEW!

My eyes were not strong enough (recent MS relapse) to make out any Messier objects when I went outside with my telescope but this didn't bother me very much. I was simply ecstatic that I could see how beautiful the moon was that night. There will be other times to chase galaxies, nebula, and star clusters. Sometimes, one has to relish with the simplest, with eyes anew.

I love the first picture I captured with the

earthshine!

First picture taken "as is".

I have been using Picasa for quick touch ups. It looks pretty much the same. I will use both and see which one has a better finished product. Thanks!
