And again! Gorgeous Moonscapes last night!

As the waning Moon rose in the East last night the sky was totally clear, allowing excellent views of its craggy south polar region. Janssen, one of the largest conventional craters (as opposed to maria basins!) was unusually easy to pick out, despite being ancient and somewhat eroded.

Tonight (if it's clear!) Mercury should be visible low in the south west just after sunset.

Meanwhile: in the garden today the spring-like weather brought out displaying Buzzards and lots of Brimstones. Linda's bees were fully active for the first time this year: let's hope we don't get a snowy March like last year!
