dawson Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Not as bright, but still lovely. I constantly marvel at the fact we can see so much detail on other planets from earth, when they are so far away and we are looking through the atmosphere. Glad you used the opportunity with this break in the cloud. Jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
