This should out a few of the voyeurs on here.There is zero point in London with all the light pollution
Can anyone recommend some good rigs for stargazing on the go? Now my campervan is a thing it would be great to have a mobile rig for stargazing when out of London.
I need to watch that series.
I've got the excellent Out of the Silence on album, I was lucky to see Dare 3 times when they supported Jimmy Page on his Outrider tour in 1988, my only claim to fame is I met the band, including Brian Cox before their show at Manchester appollo. They were kind enough to let is into the arena while they done a soundcheck

I took the ‘Heeds out to the Chilterns to see the comet a few years ago. Only an hour out of the city and proper dark skies. Saw the comet, ISS, the Galilean moons, loads of satellites & shooting stars. It was fantastic… for me at least. The rest of them just moaned, sat in the car & ate all my choc.There is zero point in London with all the light pollution

Lovely clear sky tonight. The school playground is nice and dark so we get to pick planets out on the walk home. We saw Mars, Venus, a Jupiter and Saturn tonight and when I got home we got the scope out and saw Jupiter with three moons. Kids loved it.

I've just been watching this review of the Apollo 8 mission by the superb Amy Shira-Teitel.
Well worth a watch if you have a spare 50 minutes.
