EAAS Observing Sept. 6th and Panoptic 35mm

Nice one Eamonn.

Isn't it strange, when we haven't been out for months we have no observing plan in mind, we're just so happy to be out under the stars again that we are content to just cruise around with no exact destination in mind. It's a bit like the feeling we experienced when we went out with our first scope.

Nice, isn't it?

Yes, I agree, Paul.
It is basically a re-discovery of that initial pleasure.
Instead of concentrating on specifics, it's great to just admire the view, and I suppose that the re-discovery process is very important to Astronomy, as that's what we do with every season.....waiting for Orion, or Leo, or Saturn or whatever. And no matter how many times we do it, it never grows tedious.
If we do become the tiniest bit bored, it's also good to show the sights to someone else, as their enthusiasm and wonder revives our own.

Here are some images of the nights session up at killylane.
