I have a pair of Nikon image stabilized 16x32 binoculars, and I was disappointed, because the sky was crystal clear when my workday was over, but I had an event I had to go to, and when I came out around 9:30 PM...it was cloudy.

Damn.

I was just getting ready to go to bed, and thought I would take a look to see if there was a break in the clouds, and...there it was! Right on the elliptical...

It was clearly visible without binoculars, but when you look at it...good gosh, it has that beautiful shade of blue you see in the pictures!

First time in my life I have ever seen it...:)

So, he’s a regular FR Poster?

I think his name rhymes with spaz, or razz, something like that...:)
