Blue Moon - 31 July 2015

Hi Mike,

It looks like you have been really immersed in Astronomy and you have gotten yourself some good equipment. Your images are quite impressive and always presented so well. I will try to get back and comment more. Beautiful Blue Moon!

Thank you Gail.

I had a small telescope when I was a little boy and at that time I dreamed of having a 'great big telescope', maybe 5 or even 6 inches.  Telescope technology, like almost everything else, has come along in leaps and bounds and of course, with China now making so many different telescopes the price has come right down.  The one I have now has a 10" diameter mirror and costs only a little more (in real terms) than the little one I had so long ago.  

All the best

Mike
