No idea where I found this cartoon, but the artist is spot on, and well observed..😆 *** *** Hoping to do some opera glass observing/sketching during the waxing Moon of November. Will post some sketches and findings as I go along. Fingers crossed for some clear skies. *** Found the above Moon image in my 1945 astronomy book : A Guide to the Sky - A Practical Handbook for Beginners by Ernest Agar Beet . A lovely little book, has just 92 pages, very informative. Will post more about this book in future blogs.
Having for some months been distracted by the quick-fire media platforms of FaceBook and Instagram, I find myself wanting to sloowww doownn and take the scenic route via my old favourite Blogger site. It's been ages since I last posted on here. From today I'm going to post all my content, be it astronomy, poetry, art, typewriters, travelling etc solely on to this blog. Time to renew the analogue! More drawings and sketches, ink pens, typewriters, notebooks, pencils, paper, poems, planispheres, simple telescopes, cups of tea, lunar light and sunspots and travelling photos. All posts will be made and uploaded from our motorhome "Martha" whilst on our travels, over the next couple of years. Goodbye digital fog. Hello clear analogue skies. Time for a cup of tea .
