Re: OT - Jovian/Lunar Event

2013-01-23 by k9k9dog

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)
