Hi Victor, getting to this thread quite late. I had a quick look at your blog, it seems you've moved on a bit since those pictures! One thing I noticed, do you realize your 2nd pic in the series posted above features Triangulum (M33) as a noticeable object as well as Andromeda (M31) ?
Your first pics are very like my first ones, which is what drew my interest.
Good luck with your journey, seems like you have an interesting future ahead of you!
Cheers, Magnus

A true dark site is not "pitch black"..
This matches my experience of my first properly dark site a couple of years ago in furthest SW Ireland, a couple of miles from Baltimore. Walking back from the pub one evening, I couldn’t actually make out most of the constellations, they were just drowned out in a sea of stars such as I'd never seen before, it was incredible. It was at that exact moment I decided to re-indulge my interest in Astronomy. Having said that, I do recall the only one that WAS obvious was Orion, perhaps that's what was meant by "an Orion sky" ?

I'll keep in touch with your website - do not neglect it!
By way of quid pro quo if you're interested you might be interested in my website, a good starting-point bearing in mind what we're talking about here, is www.slidingseat.net/stars/stars.html#startingout .
Cheers, Magnus
