I live in Carrara and was seeing off friends in front of my house when we all turned to see this amazing sight. I wasn’t looking directly at it when it appeared but we all swung to see it - Im not exactly sure why - but I guess it was the flash. I was glad we had all seen it as it was so spectacular (and since I was a few beers down I’m sure I would not have been believed if I had only seen it myself).
I actually just bought my first telescope yesterday, a Saxon 8" dob. We mentioned it to Lex at Star Optics here on the coast and he said we where the 2nd people to mention it to him.
I wanted to get into the hobby for a long time and partially because of this sight I guess I have my telescope today. Now I just would like some clear skies!
