Banging track. Sounds very like Yes too, unsurprisingly

Crocus with glory of the snow interloper. And I'll throw in snowdrops for me. Not included are my rude Tourette ditties I was singing on my walk

A new player has entered the spring chat in friary gardens - glory of the snows.

A brown shape fluttering into a hedge by the cycle track on this grim grey mizzly day. Just looked out office window, no birds in view for half a kilometer !

Hopefully you all Love Aconite! I've been monitoring  - to use a massively overly scientific term - the aconite in Friary Gardens ever since the first little yellow bobbin...

A blog post about the lovely aconite display

It's a grim grey day, the sun seemingly didn't bother rising.

So let's have some colour, unfiltered, from the cemetery wildflowers

Dear. God.

Welcome to an emerging spring, little ladybird

I love seeing them every year

The aconite in the friary gardens are now at their best! I made sure I took a look today before my run.

Hello to new viewers and followers after your lovely response to my lunar halo photo.

I've got a modest little astro master 114 telescope, through which I took these lunar photos with my pixel 6a.

One shows the bay of rainbows, the other has crater Tycho near centre.

Signs of spring - tiny red hazel flowers are appearing by the catkins.

Ha ha!

So here's my attempts to take lunar photos through the eyepiece of my astro master 114. Think we have Copernicus and Clavius here

After the storm, another big lunar halo for you. Going to be a cold one.

Gremlin attack in the water!

As a Roman historian I felt it was necessary to watch "Caligula - The Ultimate Cut" for "research" purposes.

Actually it's one of the most unerotic films I've ever seen. The continual flaccid (in every sense) sexuality is very tedious.

Malcolm McDowell is insanely riveting though

A New Old Hobby I recently came into possession of a new little gadget.  It's an Astromaster 114 EQ by Celestron, a dinky 114mm Newtonian reflector.  Anyon...

My first little astronomy blog about my dreaded Astromaster 114 EQ, and the objects I've seen.
