I've just been out looking at the Andromeda galaxy through my 11 x 80 binoculars.  September is my favourite month for observing.  Oh!  We are on BBC Radio Wales soon.  They are recording our observation session this coming Friday for the Roy Noble show.  Radio.... hmmmmm.    :)x

I like number 5.  Shame it's not a bigger image, as I might have had that for my desktop.  :)

Not sure when they are broadcasting the new series Simon.  But it's the one recorded at Aberglasney House in Carmarthen.  They filmed drawings some guy had found in his father's attic and I am standing right behind him.  Cut!   :)x
