Hi i wont normally post in this part of the forum,s but its this zodiacal light that amazes me.

Nearly all times i observe the zodiacal light in the west after Astronomical twilight is always always so bright, I mean so bright you could still say theres a major city out there but theres not, Tourists and other people who have observed with us ask questions about this light so ive had to google this up and learn only the basics as only to answer questions without feeling like an idiot.

All i know basically is that light is being reflected off minute particals of dust in space ( thats what i tell our visitors )

Now on the other hand the Gegenschein has popped into the equation with reading up on transperancy and seeing conditions.

Looking this up it tells me that this is basically the same as zodiacal light but it appears to be oppisite side of the sun,,,so i will find another location so i can observe towards the east away from the lights of town.

My questions are now many other astronomers out here have seen the zodiacal light and are aware of it and also the Gegenschien.

Is anyone interested in the imageing of this or do we have some, I cant image cause i only observe but if one good thing about it is , that it doesnt glow in the north ......opinions invited....cheers Kev.
