stars in the city

Cloud has been pretty persistant this week and last night was no exception although it was hot and balmly . Instead of dwelling on the weather jink thought i would treat my lady to a night out on the town with a romantic dinner and a walk up at kings park .When we got up to the park about mid evening the clouds had parted somewhat , the stars where unveiled , the city below looked great {usally the bane of my LP problems} and there was a great carnival atmosphere going on {there was a classical music concert on }.We just laid down on the grass along with many other couples dotted along the main greenway just taking in the atmosphere, the view and the stars . Just goes to show you can still get a lot out of viewing the sky whenever the chance may be . Wish i had taken my camera along , i see a great opportunity for one shot ....along the main throughfare there is a strand of light coloured gum trees that are highlighted by soft coloured floodlights , walking past and looking up i caught Orion just grazing the upper reachs of one tree , would have been a nice pic .....ill have to revisit sometime this week and try

yeah thats a typical romantic outing for cheryl and me too... we'd be walking along and she'd be saying something D&M to me and i'd be "eh? what did you say? I was looking at orion" sometimes i think i like the stars too much.

Geez glad my wifes name isn't Cheryl. (no offence)

My wife actually comes out and looks for Satellites, Meteors,and other Non identifyable objects, and has a look through my scope too. Then again I am not the most romantic person alive, I am happy she shows some sort of interest, but I think she gets quite PO'ed when I talk about projects I have in my mind and getting the EQ6 Which is quite often. I now have an idea about making a crayford focuser eeeeek.

My girl says that she is an astronomy widow. She comes over watches my tv and I am out watching the stars. She says she might as well go home and watch the tv at her house. No romance here, what you see is what you get.
