you guys are going to have to direct me on this:
i step out of my mobile home every night to crisp clear winter
skies struck through with stars. if i stayed out for a couple
of hours i'd have a rotating celestial view. i can see the
Plough rising over the valley with Orion over to the right.
so chuffed not to be in a city any more >;DDDD
(by the way, i haven't fitted my hawk and atomahawk kits yet,
i'm f∗∗∗ing terrified and keep putting it off)
