    Getting paranoid here, was outside looking up trying to see if there was any hazy cloud about, briefly glimpsed the neighbour having a curtain twitch at me through their top window. About a minute later she switches on the back garden security light! It's not even remotely dark yet! Half tempted to switch on my subwoofer and rage play some drum 'n' bass...

      Get a copy of a 'Sound Check' by Alan Parsons - great for testing and annoying...

      Drukqs by Aphex twin is maybe what you need in times like this.

      I think this happens round here too. Over the road, security light isn't always on, but when I go out, sometimes after a few minutes, bam switched on.

    Darkest night I have had to date, neighbours out and no security lights. Searched for an hour for M101 using telrad, 9x50 RACI and stellarium, no joy :( Am still yet to see a galaxy...

      I'm yet to see one too and I'm currently in the darkest skies I've been in yet for the weekend.

      I have also tried for m81/m82, 82 to try and glimpse the SN, no luck there either, although light pollution was a fair degree heavier when I last searched. Last night was a little frustrating as it was a very rare occasion whereby the neighbours had all turned off their death rays and seeing was pretty reasonable and dark. Patience and practise, I'll get there eventually, thanks for the comments peoples.

    Some lovely moody shots of the moon available thanks to broken cloud. Some lovely moody shots of my face also available.

    If the universe is infinite, then at some point all atoms will repeat, could my dob be looking at another me looking at me with his dob?

      No, the space that is the universe may be infinite but not the stuff that is in it. Also there is an expected life span of this universe so not infinite in time either. The other you would not be able to see you through the cloud layer on this planet if he existed, same as you cannot see him through the cloud. I assume that you have cloud?

      It wasn't a comment on factual correctness, science has many theories and whilst some have more evidence to back them than others none should be considered "the way it is".
