The suns shining, I’m on top of the world (well A’DAM Lookout anyway). A glass of Rose wine, Florence and the machine belting out and amazing views of Amsterdam. Cheers. 🍷☺️🇳🇱🌇

My two Satsuki Azalea bonsai have come into flower. My young tree is full of blooms whereas my specimen Satsuki has produced only two flowers. Satsuki Azalea are amazing little trees in that they can produce a variety of different colours on the same plant.

A quick visit to the science museum this morning. Saw the Apollo 10 CM, some of the British space program from the late 60’s early 70’s and lots of other interesting exhibits. Off to the Natural Histroy Museum for the afternoon.

Took the Seestar out again and had a quick go at the Moon, M42, M81,M82 and NGC2976 and an attempt at the Pacman Nebula but the fog rolled in and cut it short. Such a fantastic little scope.

Took the Seestar for another outing last night. A few teething troubles with locating objects and focusing but tried M45 the Pleiades. Doing well until I didn’t see it disappear behind a transmitter 🤦🏻♂️. I tried the Rosette Nebula and managed to capture 20 minutes of M81 and M82.
