Star party and a message

Last night, we observed the sky at the University of Louvain La Neuve, about 30 km south of Brussels.
Comet Machholz (circled) is very high in the sky!

The Moon (using the ETX90, a 40mm eyepiece and the Sony DSC V1)

And prominently, Titan (same way as with the Moon) with Saturn overpexosed, but the purpose was to show Titan to its upper right!

(Titanians would have it very hard spotting Earthlings as it would require aiming at the Sun).

And here's my message to them....

Well, perhaps they might not agree with it; luckily, they'd have a hard time finding us with the sun glare.
