Hello All
You guys have never let me down before. I'm leaving this a bit late but, what are some "don't miss" sights of the northern sky? Before you answer, bear in mind that I am going on short notice (booked flight yesterday morning, flying out at 2155hrs tonight) and all I can take is my AOE10x50 binos and my 400d with an old 90-300mm lens. I'm going to be in the south of England in a (relatively) light free village (Greatham, if you know england it's near petersfield). I'm really keen to see some things that I can't from home. I'll be checking out some of the astro stores in London and seeing a few observatories, but I was wondering what peoples personal favourites are. Any help would be much appreciated. Oh and by the way I'm looking to kill 7 hours in Kuala Lumpur on the way so I'll get back to everyone at about 0800hrs.
P.S. I'm a bit irked that I can't take my eq6 and use the north star to align my mount properly for once
