Pick the difference

Now before i go on too much - the difference is only 3 minutes.

Light pollution is the bain of my existance, this is the difference the Dog track racing has on my skies. Ok the seeing and the thin cloud didnt help, but you can sure see what can happen when they turn off the lights. They have now increased the racing times. NOT HAPPY JAN.....................

At least, think of the processing skill you will learn in dealing with that.

Alas no..I worked at the Airforce base at Williamtown for 8 years...still is RAAF regardless of the covert operations of the Republican party....but I digress. I also have friends living out at Medowie and I was impressed at the dark skies out that way...well as long as you don't slew to far towards the Southern direction..Newcastle city lights.

I really miss Perth though ...I could at least see the LMC & SMC from a mates house in Ellenbrook...Melbourne sky and weather just don't cut it.
