North of the Equator

Yes, for a while, until mid May, I'm standing upright on Earth instead of hanging upside down!

Won't be able to look in much, nor post.

Have the binoculars this time to see if I can search out previously unseen (by me) sights! Not much chance of anything other than bright stars with the local light pollution.

Cheers
Eric

Again?

If it's the right time of the year, check out the double cluster.

I "discovered" the double cluster when I was about 13. Wow, was I stoked.

Where abouts are you Eric?

Haifa, northern Israel.

OK, I'll give the double cluster a go, thanks.

I always thought we were the ones standing the right way up in the south.

Hope you have a great trip Eric, it's always great to see new sights in the sky.

Cheers
