Lunation 1019 - May/June 2005

6 days 20hr Moon - 15th May 2005

6 days 1 hr Moon - 14th May 2005

21:15 BST	Theophilus	21:40BST

5 day 3hr Moon - 13 May 2005

19:45 BST	21:00BST Northern point What a difference with a telescope	Janssen in the South Lots more - will post when recovered ...

4 day Moon - 12th May 2005

8pm BST Moon (X marks the spot) crawls over the rooftops, chaffinch waits for its supper	Just about visible in the blue sky - strong wind blowing the clouds
An hour later, with the sun not as bright, managed to get the telescope out and see this ... and much more - will post them when recovered.	10pm BST - Moon heading for the trees. Sickness descending - me heading for bed!  But at least the sky kept clear 8-)

3 Day Moon  - May 11th 2005

2 day Moon  - May 10th 2005

Sun going down, clouds rushing in from the North West	Around 20.30 BST or 19:30 UT	Could see it through the 20x50 binoculars but not without	Clouds doing their best to cover the vital spot
			First chance to see the moon this session.  Very cloudy last night. Gone off to see if the darker sky will produce the moon or whether the clouds will win
Microlite flies past	Small plane goes past the cloud	And another - but Moon gone again
At last, a photo,  21:22 BST	Again - dodging the clouds	Through binoculars can see craters along the terminator	21:25 BST or 20:25 UT
