Ronseal Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Well, the skies were clear when I got home tonight so out with the binos & what lovely views of Jupiter with its moons and Uranus near by, I even dragged the missus out to see it. A quick look at the Pleiades and then Andromeda & its my turn to cook tea Anyway, thats now done & miss marple is on the telly. Thing is, do I watch that or go outside for an hour to freeze? Theres only one way to find out....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronseal Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 ...well Stargazing won, and after 40mins freezing my butt off I've seen M35 just above Mu & Eta, M37, M36 and M38 in Auriga.I couldn't see M1 the Crab nebula though so probably a bit too much light polution.Oh, and I saw what I thought was a fast moving satellite so trained binos on it & it turned out to be a fast moving high flying Seagul Before I go out again, I need to find my ski gloves so can stay out longer Chris (bbrrrr) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
