Mmmmm point sources....

For 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.

On a clear night, take a drive outside the light pollution.

And now I'm thinking that I should see an optometrist at some point. I've always had excellent eyesight but slow degeneration can, as you've pointed out, catch up with you without you realising. I'm not completely certain that the world around me is a sharp and focused as it ever was. Possibly a thing to do on Friday (RDO).
