Eclipse !

tomorrow morning there will be an Eclipse and just about anyone will be able to see it. Unfortunately, the only way you’ll be able to view this phenomenon is by having special glasses that you can pick up in your local supermarket if they do this sort of thing ?

Here in the UK, the best places to see it are Here ….

Enjoy !

Clear skies… Before clouds.

I’ve had some good luck so far with the skies here in the UK. Managed to do a spot of stargazing before these storms come in.

An old one

Found this picture I took of The Moon and Saturn (through my telescope) back in June. As much as I love the skies above in the winter, summer also has its advantages..

Spot the station

Tomorrow will be the last chance to see the International Space Station here in the UK until next year. To find out where to look, there are ISS spotter apps for the Apple and Android gadgets.

Everyone.

Here’s to a good Christmas, and new year. Won’t really update much as I will be celebrating with my little family.
Quick picture though… Here’s the skies tonight on Christmas Eve here in the UK (England)
See you in 2015.
