This was the evening of Dec. 20/21. Got up at 2:30 — took shot from bathtub in our bathroom (only window with access) — anything for astronomy (well, almost).

Yep, there’s water (very cool)… does that prove life is out there?  Or that even with some of the right ingredients, the fact that there’s only life on Earth (so far), makes it all the more amazing.

Check this mission out.  Hope to be able to observe this from the scope.  Explosions are fun.  Local friends invited to the scope.

So finally got back to the telescope on Friday night.  Had a few folks join us.  Lots of cobwebs I need to remove from the shed and start thinking about some upgrades, etc.  Anyway, it was just nice to get back behind the telescope.  Clear views of Saturn and a few M objects.
