It's exam time again and all our sky addicts are forced to train their eyes on matters more down-to-earth like textbooks and those endlessly photocopied notes! A pity since some of the best skies are available now... Was at End Point last night and the sky was good despite patches of fluffy cumulus that were scattered here and there in the sky. Comet Holmes is rapidly fading but still is a good target for even a modest pair of binoculars. Some of us had a good discussion about the structure of the Milky Way and about galaxies in general too.
The nights ahead are promising... Let's not waste them. Whenever a few of us get some free time and the night is clear, let us just move off to some reasonably dark site with a pair of binoculars and drink in the night sky!
Wishing you clear skies!
