Moon & Star

[Alfian]

I nice way to kick off the year.  A clear evening with a crescent Moon and Venus together. Great views through my Pentax 20x60s. Reminded me, completely out of of context of course,  of Cat Stevens as was/Yusuf Islam song, Boy with a Moon and Star on His Head form Catch Bull at Four. Its prompted me to dig out the album and have another listen. Its funny how  something come along that sparks a memory that sends me rooting through my music collection and gets me back enjoying music I haven't played for a while. I think the last time was The Who's "Wont get fooled again". I'll not go into that one! Happy new year all.

We've just had a great evening of observing the moon, Venus and Mars all together.  It is a hopeful start to the year.

So did I!  Even had the neighbours round, who were mightily impressed. This led to a quick tour of some open clusters and a few other odds and ends.
