And 2017 so far

This year 2017, started with big expectations, always trying to be realistic too about what it could be achieved, as the windows of opportunities in the UK are extremely reduced…so every clear night is so precious, to the point that if I miss one window(a clear moonless night ), I feel like I just wasted my time by doing something else.  It is a journey, and a great learning experience and it has become a religion.

A good group of people attended the workshop to witness the pain of having two stunning views from which it was very difficult to decide….Purple sunset on the west and super moon rise on the east….enjoy !!! 🙂
