Last night, it was exceptionally clear. Omega Centauri looked really good, especially with all the light pollution & being that low on the horizon, i'm toying with the idea of trying to get a sketch off, but there's only a limited window of time between 8:30 and 9:30. This evening . We will see.

So this morning, when boss and I went on earth in the usual walk, the moon was exceptionally crisp and bright. So when we returned home, I created this view. Looking through  my C-90  with a poro prism using a .965  25mm eyepiece fitted with a polarizing filter.Additionally looking  through my 8×25 Hd Hawkeye binoculars.Sketched on my Samsung cell phone and mini tablet using the dedicated paint program, using the paint and airbrush selections to render the moon finished in Photoshop Express adjusting levels ,using the smooth tool., Adding borders and creating text.

Thanks for looking 

Clear Skies Always Jon
