Guest Eddy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Saw this in the telegraph, bit silly how they say 5 minutes spare time, you want at least 20 minutes or so for dark adaption if they have to be in a rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyboy1970 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 They might be better asking what is the dimmest star you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eddy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Another issue is it depends on the seeing, for example my boss thinks its clear sometimes when intact there's loads of high cloud which will reduce the count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I guess also the condition of your own eyes is pivotal at the end of the day too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
