Thanks to @amin, I'm now aware of the #xkcd #StarGazing series that had it's fourth comic come out yesterday:

Last night we were treated to the Waxing Crescent Moon cozying up to the Pleiades star cluster just after sunset.

A low cloud was kind enough to pass in front of the moon when I took this photo, dimming its glow and revealing the line of craters while the unobscured stars were still shining brightly.

After 50 Years of Searching for Exoplanets, We Found Our Smallest Cosmic Neighbors Orbiting Local Star

Wow, what a beautiful big moon. And stars so clearly visible l. I think I got Orion's belt

Hey #astronomers ! What are your thoughts about Tele Vue re-releasing their famous 24mm Panoptic eyepiece but now without undercuts? It also appears production has shifted from Taiwan to Japan. If you have an existing 24mm Pan with the undercuts, would you consider buying the new one? If you were holding off, does the lack of an undercut encourage you to buy one? Note, Tele Vue's new range of Type 7 Naglers are also sans-undercut!

Personally, I've never had a problem with undercuts, and all my Tele Vue eyepieces have them. But I don't own the 24mm Panoptic. The fact it has no undercut has no influence on whether I'd buy one or not. How about you?

Do you hear Bonnie Tyler?
