About this image

9 Day old Moon. I spent most the evening checking the garden for werewolves, I thought they might have acclimatised to the whine of the EQ6 motors, but I think Skywatcher must have thought of this and designed them to be difficult to tune out – I wonder why they didn’t just go down the Meade route of deafening everything within a 100M radius?
