A random observatory with an optical telescope,
on some random hill... (Why state the obvious anyway?)

This is one of the drawings I made after listening to music video
of Keeno's arrangement of buzzG's "Hoshi no Uta" ("Song of Stars"),
vocal by Kashitaro Ito. At the time, I didn't know the meaning
of song's lyrics yet.

After I read
dmnngn's
translation of the song there,
it turned out that it's quite the opposite of what
I thought it to be: the song is not about looking out
to other stars; it's about the earth itself,
but from moon's perspective.

So in the end, this drawing has nothing in common with the song.
Also, I didn't refer to a real star chart for this one,
so the sky is a bit... (again) random.
