How cool is it being in the proper dark!

Not that cool if someone is firing tracer overhead?!

Who said that?

Be cooler if that **** Elon wasn’t filling LEO with space junk.

Yep, love seeing the proper night sky unadulterated by light pollution. The stars are amazing…

Even in an urban environment, it’s still possible to see stars, just not so clearly. I can see all the major asterisms from my front and back gardens, and I’ve got most of Chippenham surrounding me! It’s not great, but here’s the Milky Way from my back garden, you can see the outside lights of the flats behind me lighting up the tree.

You can tell it’s late autumn, going into winter, because you can see Orion and Sirius.

But you see a lot more when it’s really dark and not polluted.  We have a stretch maybe 300m long on my road with no houses, no streetlights and what you see on a crisp night is fantastic
