Not much else is either, as for most of the UK the night sky is so light polluted the naked eye limit is about 3. My sky here in Killara is better than any of the nights I had in the countryside in the midlands (Appleby Magna) in 4 months. North of the Cairngorms the night sky was decent but not what I would rave about - on the one night in 10 that isn't overcast.
