Just been out under the stars, and WOW are they amazing! It's as clear as a bell, and a very clear bell at that. I'm in Southampton and even though I'm surrounded by light polution (pettition on my page) I could see Andromodae Galaxy with my unaided bad eyesight. And the pladies were stunning, along with M42. Brilliant night, and there is a possibility of aurora tonight, though only smal chance.

On to the hot choc. well that most cirtainly is a must, there is nothing quite like being in your back garden on a dark clear night wrapped up warm and with a mucg of hot chocolate in you hand. Cirtainly is the best!

Wonderful to see you here, Yeliab!!!

The other night I saw a very beautiful, white moon... I was so impressed that I called up my sweetheart... and I left a message on the answering machine!!! smiley - tongueout

He's more of a stargazer than I am(I'm a general SKY watcher, day and night), but he missed it that night. Pity.

But the hot chocolate makes up for it. It has such a soothing affect!!! smiley - smiley

::looks at the stars:: Yep... life is amazing...

::Sips her hot chocolate:: Oh, yes.... life is GOOD!!! smiley - smiley
