Re: IZ
Very cool Raoul, those binoculars look powerful, do you use a tripod, or lean against something to keep steady?
The Steen looks like my kind of place, busy architectural designs and now a nautical museum. Would love to see those vessels. I just made lieutenant with the US Power Squadron (not that big of a deal). Astronomy is much more challenging as you know and can be self rewarding as you discribed.
Glad you were able to see Ikeya Zhang, I'm jealous.
