We just had a fantastic dinner in Maui, with a beutiful view of the sunset. Here are a few photos ...
The dinner was great, A tasty Caprese salad followed by a well prepared Mahi-Mahi dish. After dinner we wandered out to a stargazing event with an amateur astronomer - he went over various constellations, and we looked at Venus, Jupiter and the Orion Nebula through his telescope.

Pps what does Venus, Jupiter and the ON look like through a telescope?

@adelina Venus looks like a small, very bright dot. It can have a crescent shape (like lunar phases) as well, but not this time. Jupiter is larger in the telescope, and has bands (dark clouds) across it. It is also orbited by several moons, lined up across the equator. The Orion nebula is a gaseous cloud with many embedded stars. It did not look as good tonight as other times I have seen it, as he had the wrong eyepiece for it, and there too many lights nearby.
