Ah yes, less people, less traffic, less stress.

Wow the burn on touscon.

I think this kinda thing is very different US Vs UKz we have a bit more village life, or so it feels from reading the internet.

Ah I'm a 5 mins walk or a 7 min drive, so much less of a compromise.

I'd want it to be even darker for 30 mins XD

Ohhhhh, let's hope it's not overcast etc, that'll be lovely to show my boy.

That's just the worst, we're lucky to have pretty tight planning and building rules in our parish.

I know it's a crime, but I really wanted to reply with the inverted smile emoji.

I got turned onto it when I was 18, up Mount Washington camping and the galactic centre was visible in the sky. We had coffees and found a local guide to talk us through what we could see above. Never looked up with the same eyes since.

I mean a pay check that lets you do both /s

But yes exactly that.

Thanks and more than happy to share my little slices of the heavens.

Okay that's great to hear, it feels like it may also turn into my most expensive hobby. Any sub-reddits that might have some good starter advice?

I'm biased as I grew up in villages/countryside so it has been a proper goal to get back to it. Hope you find yourself a good spot to break out the LoFi

I'm lucky to have it in my back garden

My pleasure, and thanks.

It doesn't take much to make a massive change to the nights sky. I'm only 10 mins from where I used to be (Norwich) and the difference is ... Well a bit.obvious from the photo.

Good luck with the telescope, it's the kind of thing that might make a birthday list.

Its been a long time coming. Best of luck on it, and #worth.

Its was almost all of Orion. My better 1/2 checked what was in the photo and online.
