I just had a thoroughly enjoyable Earth Hour.
The sky was pristine, no breeze, a comfortable 13°C. I can't say I noticed any noticeable improvement in the darkness of the sky at my place - there was still the Sydney glow in the east, but I did my bit.
We had all the lights and computers off for earth hour, I didn't even fire up the scope!
"What???", I hear you say?....
Well, instead I opened the dome of the POD and kicked back in the observing chair with the 7x50s and surfed the Milky Way. Haven't done it in ages. It was glorious! I concentrated on observing the dark objects as much as possible, but, you know how it is, little bright favourites keep slipping in there!
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's just a pity the weather has been so lousy lately that I had no conidence that it would be OK otherwise it would've been good to organise a session with friends...
What did you do for Earth Hour?
