Description

The first moon images after an exactly 4-months hiatus. The atmosphere was highly unstable but I could not resist. Only three of 20 shots were keepers -- with much mercy. Unlike myself, the Moon hasn't aged at all, still looking handsome (no comments on this, please).

BTW, I do not really need a crutch anymore for walking outside, however, it is of advantage to use it. People are giving way and keep social distance, the perfect infection prevention. And should anybody get too close I pull a face as if I would not hesitate to use the crutch for deterrance, while obeying the Geneva Convention. There is no need for nuclear weapons. 😎

Rev B: I find my newest toy, the 10:1 Crayford focuser extremely helpful.

Hope you are all keeping well.
