Star Party - Terni Style!

At first light, when the scope first open its lens towards the heavens, by the lawn downstairs behind the Villa, a group of us had already gathered there with curious looks and high anticipation as to what the scope will show. :-)

I showed my brother priests the sight of sister Moon and the fascinating view of Jupiter and her moons. They were clearly excited by the view of the heavenly bodies as they jostled to grab the position to see who goes first.

The Messier 152-S did not disappoint as it showed the skies in all her glory, especially with the Moon adorning it this evening. We also took the occasion to gaze over at the town centre a little further away into the hills and valley nearby.

If I had charged 2 Euros for each view, I would have a tidy sum this evening. But, the sky and God's creation are free and meant to be shared, so the scope took centre-stage as it entertained the viewers for this evening! :-D
