I see no ships...

Bought a 2nd hand telescope via Gumtree today...on a bit of a Perseid whim (why does nobody ever do anything on the whole of a whim?)

Anyway, it's pointed skyward, the night is falling (clunk) and the damned clouds have appeared.

So I am not yet with the wonderfully lumpy and monocled Moore At the Castle Gate, but here's that very tune for the hell of it....
