Planets of the Gods

   

The Windows October Update has reset my display preferences, bear with me till I get it back to what I'm happy with! (looks to bright to me)

Looking out for an Aurora I noticed that the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter were close together in the clear sky, so I tried out the "moon" setting on my P1000. I'm happy enough with these at 242,838km, 1,498,970,664km and 780,900,885km to the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter. Perhaps using manual focus would be better?

Jupiter - God of the Sky
Saturn - God of Religion
Mars - God of War

The new feeding station at Keptie Pond, I think there are five feeders and this table. Visitors are welcome to top the feeders up anytime with appropriate seed or fats on the table
