After 4 days of complete and continuous cloud coverage, the sky has totally cleared in the last 2 hours. It's not even fully dark, but it was so so obvious to the naked eye - and thru the binos - just extraordinary.
It looked - just thru binos - exactly like this - http://spaceweather.com/comets/holmes/24oc...Eric-Allen1.jpg Extraordinary. Doug |

It's not even fully dark, but it was so so obvious to the naked eye - and thru the binos - just extraordinary. Glad SOMEONE in the UK is seeing it at last. Up here in Kendal after a day of glorious blue skies it's cloudy again and spitting (cue Peter kay voice: "Spitting! It's spitting!") with rain so it looks like I've had it tonight as well. Not happy. Not happy at all. -------------------- |
