cosmic dave Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Paul and I meet at Huttoft last night to do some perseids watching, we had a bit of cloud to contend with but we did manage to spot a few, and knocked the night on the head at about 1ish, Thanks paul I had a nice evening and enjoyed the chat. Ps did you find out about that flashing flare ? Edited July 30, 2012 by cosmic dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Did you not take the scopes Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I took my 12" Dob but didn't use it much as we were more interested in spotting meteors. I think we would have seen more if we could have stayed longer. I haven't identified what appeared to be a flaring satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I saw a satellite tonight following a similar path around 22.30, and although it was not as bright as last night, it was brightening and dimming the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasonbirder Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 As its so convenient to get to/use can I ask what the ca terrace is like from a dark sky perspective...and whats the southern horizon like? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The Southern Horizon is quite good. There are some camper vans staying there and there was a few cars coming and going, even after midnight, which spoilt it a bit. Might be better in winter when the campers have gone.
