Tot Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I am 52 years old and it wasn't until this year that I saw the Milky Way for the first time ever. City-dwelling, light pollution, blah blah. Went to Kielder Forest on holiday in September, timed to coincide with new moon, taking binos and a small scope with me. They got plenty of use but the most amazing sight to me was simply looking up at the sky with the naked eye. I really was stunned by the sight of it arching overhead and spent many hours just looking.Moral of story. Get out to dark sites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdance Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 You lucky lucky thing I haven't seen it since 2011 in France. Should I be unlucky enough to never see it again, at least I'll never forget that night walk on the road to the Galibier...a beautiful and mighty humbling experience.
