An excellent image of the Cat in the Moon. Can you see it? :-)

Hello Ray,

sorry, but people in Luxembourg don't see any cat in the Moon, for us, there is the man in the Moon☺️.

Hi Guy,

Felines aside, can I ask what altitude your observatory is at? You must have very good seeing/steady air!

Great picture, very inspirational.

Best wishes,

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

My observatory is at 287 m, in the industrial belt of Luxembourg, the seeing is usually very poor and the light pollution enormous!

All the best

Guy

Mine is in the middle of eastern England's fenland, only a few metres above sea level. Light pollution isn't too bad but the seeing is often poor.

You do good work!
