Hope everybody got to see the moon last night or this morning!  We had clear skies on both ends, I’ve still got to get batteries to pull the pictures off the camera as I ran the thing flat last night.  Too bad too I think the pictures would have been better this morning.

Using the scope and it’s camera is still out of the question because rolling the roof off the observatory is still beyond my limits.  Not that it would have mattered too much, it would have been pretty meaningless to image the moon with them, there’s no scale and due to trees the east horizon is out and I can’t see to the west.

Lot’s of people got pictures though.  I am happy so many took the opportunity to check it out!!

Did you watch the video?  Curiosity is a good sized rover!

You can watch the construction of the actual Mars-bound rover that will be launched this autumn.
