Hi all,
My road to damascus moment...
On a 1991 holiday in a town called Turgutreis on the Bodrum peninsula in Turkey. No streetlights, no moon - just so many stars that you could only lie back on the sandy beach and stare. Humbling and awe-inspiring all at once and all with just my naked eyes.
Never seen anything like it since - reckon I'll have to go to the dead centre to experience similar.
Went straight back to sunny Scotland and bought a cheap Tasco reflector and it's been downhill from there!!
Cheers
Doug
