Moon 7th & Moon 8th February 2018

Consecutive morning Moons. Lovely blue sky but still fair detail.

I couldn't see the Falcon Heavy on its test flight though. It's the idea of Elon Musk and his SpaceX company and it has the heaviest payload of any current rocket and he's hoping to do commercial flights at a cost of $1,000/lb ($2,200/kg). What would you like to send into space?

Moon 31st January & Moon 1st February 2018

I didn't see the SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON eclipse because it was the wrong time of day and the weather wasn't great either.

BUT, I did see it post-eclipse later that day and then a SUPERMOON the day after!

I also did a quick video to show the cloudy weather we have been having recently.
