This is one of the Moon images I did yesterday. It was so cold outside that I could not stay up late enough for Mars.

STOP PRESS.................'Someone has captured an image'

Great image Fay, and good to see you using the Mak Cass, which reminds me, I have one of those. ;)

Surely if these are the only images taken this month, (due to unforeseen circumstances (BLOODY WEATHER) they automatically qualify Fays image to be 'Image of the Month'.  ;)
That is unless people are braving the weather tonight, as it is due to be clear.  :roll:

Wrap up and venture out at 11pm to observe the Moon and Mars,
11.02pm back in for a bloody brandy,
and hope some others have taken some good images, that I can browse at tomorrow. :lol:
