 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

If you want dark skies, Halfway across the Nullabor Plain is fantastic if you park well off the highway and the weather is kind. Where I used to live in central Tasmania was nearly as good (no street lights and not many neighbours) Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Envy... In this part of the UK dark skies are a memory. Too much light from large towns and cities and, additionally, our area is relatively low and we get a lot of cloud (especially when there are any astronomical events of interest!). I wouldn't recommend astronomy as a hobby round here, although there is a telescope on Moor Park in Preston. It's in the "urban" light level category.
