Here's the room at the Ranch House Hotel on Marathon Key & a few other odds and ends from the trip. Hunker down against the diseases and think of these warm scenes and adventures to get you through. Enjoy!

P.S. The telescopes are Sky-Watcher USA: 72 mm ED doublet refractor ($465, $400 on sale) & 127 mm Maksutov ($435, $400 on sale). Both made Venus look beautiful at high power (OK, I did have some pretty blue & violet filters in too)
No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

Very cool Jonathon, looks so nice and sunny, and warm. It hasn't been a terrible winter here in Michigan, but Im so tired of gray skies. My son bought a telescope recently, its about the size of a small hot water heater! He and his wife are both lab techs at a very busy hospital in Flint, I worry about them. Hopefully we all get through this with as little damage as possible.
Take care, Mike.
