Great stuff. I'd love to see what those galaxies in Virgo look like through my scope, as it's an area of the sky I haven't really done much observing of.

Oct-29 night witnessed the Moon's close pass of Mars.

While the optics causes flares in the image, I don't always see the flares as a bad thing -- probably because it adds many colors to the otherwise dull image.

Nothing special about this blue moon. It simply doesn't care what the human calendar system says.

Oct-30's sunset.

Sunspots! A triplet near the equator forms a special visual pattern.
