Astronomy from the Big Brother house.
Yep I dont mind watching BB. The BB house wouldnt be good for astronomy though lol. I was thinking if ever I was there, I would be asking big brother to turn off the bright yard floodlights after most HMs had gone to bed, so I could see a really dark sky (as the BB compound is in a bush setting in Dreamworld) If I was really pushing my luck Id ask Big Brother to allow me to bring in my Cometracker 6 inch S.N and attach one of the spiffy low light video cameras they use in the bedrooms to it.
In a previous BB series, as no clocks are allowed , the housemates made a makeshift sundial and put it in the garden. They then estimated the time. On the BB website it said they were only 27 minutes out. Now thats not bad, especially as there were no clocks to calibrate it off, and the high walls make it hard to gauge exactly where the sun rises and sets.
