If it's too bright at night, have you tried wearing ?

I prefer star watching without any form of ocular assistance, aside from my augmented reality smartphone app. Bit awkward walking into the local park carrying a 30 inch reflector or a giant set of binoculars anyway.

Can't see the stars during the day except for one very big one. Maybe we could have a happy hour at night when all lights are switched off.

Cos it's dark at night. I'd propose turning them off during the day.

I tried counting the stars in the square of Pegasus, which indicates how clear of light pollution your skies are. I made it 0. Why don't we turn lights off at night?

So did anyone see it last night then???

Just a suggestion - think changing your pic (apologies (to all) if my terminology is incorrect) may be an idea.

Scottish football - jez. Maybe 'rent' out trainspotting.

Aye, here too. Boing!

It's clouded up here

Oh to back in Bergen.

Do you think maybe some drunk students run a magnet by the Lancaster sensor every so often?
Guess I would have..........

[RSoles]

I think there's some inverse relation between the auroral activity and the amount of cloud here.
Brilliantly clear night, just some light clouds moving in from the North-East.
Saw a long, slow meteor following the path of the milky way around 11:15 ( about 35 degrees long).

Jupiter is very bright in the South, need to get the telescope out at the weekend (guaranteed downpour).

Presently Yorkshire moors. If it's a goer I'll get dressed and go out for a look but bearing in mind I almost got arrested for trespassing on a race course last year when someone on here posted the same I want some
proof first.

Last year when the Perseids meteor shower was over the UK I went out in the middle of the night, another car pulled up, didn't know if they were doggers or geeks like me (unfortunately it was the latter)

Green at the moment but I'm keeping an eye out. I've seen the display before but it's always worth having another look.

Aye,
I had a red alert from these guys last night.

Welcome to AuroraWatch UK

Sadly I'd gone to bed earlier than normal. Also we were having our month's supply of rain delivered last night.
