It was a glorious starlit night last night, with no wind and no moon to spoil it. Even my neighbours co-operated and kept all their spotlights off. I turned my telescope to one of my favourite objects in the night sky, the Double Cluster in Perseus.

This is a really easy find with binoculars, or if you’re really lucky with good eyesight and a dark location, the naked eye. Look northeast just after dark and locate the W of Cassiopeia. Extend the right side of the left hand V and it points right to it. It’s unmistakable and a beautiful sight.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, I forgot to give a talk at one of those jet setting, globetrotting conferences that we Christians are always having, in between multi-faith buffets.

I know. These shocking headlines have rocked the world.

Which brings me to autumn, leaves, acorns and Jesus. The National Trust too. Also, words like subtraction and exponential sound good.
