finally got to see them from a dark site, on me todd - thought it would never happen, ( should of gone out sat morn, that was the one - typical
)
went out yesterday for attempt at imaging with a mate, clear when we left town, clouds manifested out of fat air enroute, next minute raining.
Similar this morning, but not as bad.
At least I got to see them briefly for about 5 minutes with 8x56's from a very dark country site (before the magical morning local hill cloud appeared, lots of driving around to no avail), wouldnt it be lovely if you just lived at a dark location, doh!.
The milky way/sky was the typical awesome winter when its good type sky. but alas it was an illusion lol - but I did have my 5 minutes with these beauties from my fave local dark sky site at about 3:30 am.
These are one of the most bizarre sights I have ever seen! the last few days, they are nearly over and under each other atm (tomorrow morn) and more closer together, very peculiar sight indeed - C is still brighter and flashier with top billing, but B is a very interesting brooding diffuse ghostly creature indeed, its like a shadow or a dark grey silhouette cut out of a
comet come loose. Both are similar in magnitude, and similar in a lot of ways to how they looked to me sat morn, at a guess, but dark sky better with a gleaming sharpish lustre to them, didnt get that far with obs - oh well will treasure that view for sure
hope to get another day maybe soon
wow! that is an absolute stunner Terry - I'd better stop i'll start gushing very badly, anyway thanks for sharing that
