Thought I'd get in early (with just a few hours to go here in Australia until 2008) to say Happy New Year to everyone on UMSF.
I hope that everyone will have a great time, be safe and make it back for a fantastic year in space coming up in 2008.

Cheers
Astro0

Beautiful pictures Olivier smile.gif. But, we can see clearly the excess of light, the light who is propagated in the atmosphere and cause light pollution. It's a shame for me... I find that very sad sad.gif. The astronomic sky isn't recongnizable near these big town...

smile.gif Yes Ant103 : you are damn right about city lights pollution in Paris. But sometimes, only after a strong wind coming from the Atlantic ocean washes the aerosols, we can have then some wonderful star and planet sightings with nice contrast (not the faintest stars of course, but some friends at La Sorbonne Observatory and at Orsay campus succeeded in seeing and some objects such as M13, M42, M57...) huh.gif
