Light pollution.

Hi,

I'm in Blackpool and as I look up, from my garden, above the tram tracks all I can see is Jupiter and Venus; but, if I cross over to the prom the stars appear! 50 yards that's all. Last night I caight sight of Plieades in my 10x50s. Very nice. I looked for Andromeda but failed. I'll have to get a planisphere.

Looking forward to the cloud disappearing.

Regards,

Bill.

Bad isn't it?

I've tried looking for Andromeda but it disappears behind the houses! Have to get out in to the open one time!
