Dragon that ate the moon, AlviaAlcedo on deviantArt
I'm sure there's ancient mythology explaining eclipses as dragons eating the moon...
This time round, I dug out a cheap phone tripod adapter and an actual tripod to use it with. Getting the monocular lined up is still tricky, not to mention trying to focus it, but I think it worked
Greatest eclipse!
There was another faint point near the moon tonight - only the brightest stars and objects are visible from my flat thanks to a street lamp outside. Fortunately Home Planet has an artificial horizon!
Again decoding the symbols, ♃ is Jupiter off to the side and ♇ is Pluto (which is far too faint to be visible), so it must be ♄ which is the symbol for Saturn.
