[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 938343, member: 325666"] Stood outside for a couple of hours last night .. Completly clear no cloud at all .. Saw a paltry 2 during that time ...but there may have been more .. BUT ...light polution is the main issue here these days .. New school close by with FFing floodlights on over 5 a side pitch and light from the building itself ...and the new streetlights are bright although pointing down they also radiate up hitting the pavements. So whos paying for all this ..wasted energy .. The taxpayer I guess ..and sooo unneccessary not to mention ruinous to any sky watching. Bring back sodium lamps and turn them off after midnight for a few hours I say. Stop wasting energy in govt buildings and schools ...just cos its not your home doesn't mean you can be wasteful. Anyhoo .. Its clouded over here now ..so no chance tonight I guess .. Fingers crossed for a miracle. happy hunting VS [/QUOTE]
