The Bat Moon Transit.
We were parked up on Newgale seafront, the sky darkened, Venus shone low down on the horizon. No stars as yet. Over the nearby hill the Moon slowly appeared. Through the Vixen telescope you could clearly see the lunar phase was very near full. For a few minutes I drifted off into a lunar dream. Then I spotted it, perfectly silhouetted against the moon's face.. a bat! I quickly set up the camera for a shot. No photo was captured, I had no chance, the little mammalian flyer was to quick for me to click the camera's shutter. Having abandoned the idea of a bat transit photo, I put the camera to one side and went back to my lunar dreaming.
