OXO Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Just to say i have seen a couple of really nice Meteors fly through Leo whilst out for a quick Walk around the block/Playing Field. Both were Green in colour and about Mag 1 even though the sky is full of thin clouds and pea soup these were great to see. I was standing on a Bench at the time and whilst observing(Naked eye) i was close to falling over at these beauties .Also should point out from the field which is only 100 yards from my house i can see 90% of the Sky :shock: this is a real treat compared to the 40% i could see from within 10miles of Blackpool were i was living so warrington(my new location) does have its light pollution but it's saving grace for me at least is the Panoramic views(Nearly) from this field .Look forward to using my 10x50 binos and sitting on the bench observing when it is a clear night .Anyway iam lucky tonight seeing these two stunner's and makes up for some of the draught of clear skies..James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaptain Klevtsov Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok so I'll be the one to bite the bait. Why were you standing on a bench? Does it help being 0.0000% closer to the sky?Captain ChaosHoping that there was a joke waiting to be unleashed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 James is a short Bottom he needs the bench just to get to a level playing field with the rest of us! Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the ground was frozen and i had just trainers on so standing on the bench helped with the cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
