I thought "The Martians have arrived!", but then I realised that I was looking at pollen slightly out of focus. (on looking through his telescope - quoted in the Observer, March 2003)

Awesome sketches! I love it! I was curious what size and what kind of eyepiece were you using with each sketch? I do see the magnification power with each sketch. Thanks - let me know, email address
