Yet another clear night in Southend last night. Hurrah!

Unfortunately it was also a full moon. Boohoo.

Fortunately, it’s nearly summer and the moon was low in the sky.

To see why the full moon is low in the sky in summer, have a look here.

So I set to work taking snaps of the Whirlpool galaxy. 5s exposures are distinctly unimpressive of this 30m ly distant object.

However, if you take over 300 of them, and get a computer to stack the images, it looks a bit better.

That’s probably close to the limit of what I can achieve with my current equipment. Others have really gone to town. This is what 10 DAYS of imaging can get you.

Or if you happen to have a telescope in space.

The bionic MP, Craig Mackinlay, recovered from sepsis but lost all four limbs as a result.

My daughter had sepsis. We took her to A&E where I prayed for her and the Invisible Magic Friend made her better.

We all sympathise with the victims of the infected blood and Post Office scandals. But what about the culprits? How many of us can honestly say that, trying to build careers in a large organisation, we would have acted differently?

Institutions and individuals did all they could to avoid investigating the NHS infected blood scandal. There have been so many similar scandals. To avoid this in the future, whistle blowers should be listened to and respected.

But, as we have turned away from religion in this country, people no longer have a conscience. These scandals simply wouldn’t take place in a more religious country. If all you heathens would start coming back to church and put us in charge again, there would no longer be this failing of our national institutions. We’d see to it.
