Full moon

[Omegstrat6]

Yep. Cities are basically too brightly lit. Wales has two of the world's eleven 'Dark Sky Reserves' in the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia National Park.

I've had the pleasure of seeing the night sky at both locations, the Scottish Highlands and Islands and the Herz Mountains in Germany amongst a host of other relatively remote spots.

Always a pleasure to get away from built up areas, false lighting and..................








............ people 😊 .

I'm quite lucky in this regard too as although we are only 9 miles from nearest town and 24 from larger city there is very little pollution and the starfield of our night sky is brilliant. Obviously living in a rural coastal area helps. My neighbour has an app on his phone that helps identify and track various stars a bit like Google earth and with mostly clear skies like this I do get tempted to get into a bit of astronomy like him. Doubtless the night sky here is nowhere near as clear as the places you mention but still impressive to me.

Despite the small size of the village there has also been a movement by some to limit night light pollution further by restricting use of security light sensors and replacing what street lighting there is with those that just illuminate the pavements/roads below.

Nice but mind numbing work if you can get it!

I presume the office computer has a **** blocker on it?

All those long and lonely hours during the middle of the night must test the resolve of a monk?

Nahh Micky, im an Agnostic.. yeah thats got you an't it lol.
And I can bring my lappy or tabby in to go online. But yeah some of the shifts are hard and they do drag, and I struggle to stay awake most of the time. In fact its harder than watching the Warsaw Fc 'Saddlers' most of the time. 😆
