Star gazing...


Just been up on my roof with my boy, staring at the stars and trying to spot the International Space Station (with shuttle attached) as it raced by. I'd heard it would pass over Vancouver tonight at 11:01 pm, but no luck spotting it. I think we may have been too late -- perhaps it overshot Lions Bay a bit earlier ...

Anyone else seen it yet?

Apparently it's as big as a football field, and Vewwy Vewwy shiny.



By the way, there was no moon tonight -- at least not yet. I just posted this pic because it's my favourite of all the moon-shots I've taken. Got this one on the self-same roof o'mine, last May.


I promise a more prosaic post tomorrow. I plan to spend the day picking up social media marketing secrets from the experts at Capulet Communications!

Now, back to stargazing...

The moon on the picture you got - it's serene. It's as if it's lonely and mysterious, yet inviting for a couple of hours of stargazing. Per chance, do you stay on your roof frequently and stare at the night sky? Maybe you've already seen a couple of shooting stars here and there, and everything else from that very roof.

Yes, sir. I've watched many a meteor shower from that very roof. Not this year, however -- too rainy!
