Andalucian sky.

[Phil-lost!]

Just got back from 2 weeks in El Gastor and I have never seen a sky like it (never seen the milky way clearly before), now I know what I'm missing! I saw more with my 10x40 bins than I've ever seen with my scope at home, don't know what I was looking at but there were fuzzies everywhere. Now I'm even more depressed about being back in cloudy Chester!! Oh well, best book for next year now so I've got something to look forward too, shame my scope wont fit in my suitcase though.

Hi Phil

Maybe we should be spending our money on travelling to clear skys and not on bigger and bigger kit. I had a similar experiece last year when I went to Scotland.

I was simply overwhelmed by the vista.

SGL coach trips ??

Yes - I've watched the 'glorious skies look' in returning friends from holiday who don't go near their scope until the memory fades slightly some months later. I know - lets all camp in Olly's backyard but don't bring any pollution - light or otherwise! Or just enjoy the challenge at home !
