stellar_muddleFor some odd reason I didn't do this last night, but tonight I wandered out with the new glasses and looked up.
Point sources!!! And with the inherent increase in signal that you get when an image is in focus*. Having spent about a week a month for 3 years focusing stellar images, you think things would have clicked. Doh!
Yay point sources. I suspect Z thinks I have become a broken record as I kept exclaiming this all the way home from A&S. Gorgeous nearly full moon and house lights reflected on the water.
*Laymans terms. No longer fuzzy blurred out faint blobs but stars! And more of them. Yay stars :) Now I just want a non-moonlit night...
Yay to in focus.
