Starry Starry Night Ad

This is an ad proof.  The ad contains a typo “star grazing” instead of “star gazing”.  Or is it?  I was never fond of the term star gazing.  Now star grazing:  that’s what we do at star parties, move from one celestial wonder to the next, as if we’re grazing the heavens for its choicest wonders.

The photo in this ad was taken by my granddaughter Nicole (Coley) Farrell.  After a lot of standard “astronomer at the eyepiece of the telescope” shots, she was reviewing the shots with her mother who also took about half of the shots.  I turned the telescope her way, looking through the finder and shouted “Hey Coley!”  And this picture was the result.
