re: #20 sattv4u2

Up until i moved to Georgia about 11 years ago, I’ve always lived in or near enough to big cities that the heavens majesty was always somewhat obscured. Traveling around the country back then I always envied “country folk” for their view of the sky at night
HAd the option to buy close to Atlanta or out in the country. Country won! 1st purchase we made was a high powered telescope for our new home

I live in the coastal mountains between Santa Cruz and San Francsico…the night sky is one of the things I love the most, and one of the reasons I don’t mind walking outside butt-nekkid in the middle of the night with the dog when he wants to take a pee…though it is a little cool this time of year.

The sky, however, is fantastic. Today, however, is more of a Misty Mountain Hop kind of day with the fog and the rain…
