Hi Cheery, it's great to hear of someone else on the forum with the same interest! Light pollution is awful in and around our cities, I agree. I have to use a LP filter (which cost a small fortune) but helps a lot, particularly with photography. Here's an image I made of Messier 63, the Sunflower galaxy (to keep it gardening related!) from 2009:
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Hi ,and a very good morning , I live approx 500 mts from the sea and farmers who live along the coast are 5-6 weeks a head of farmers who are near Drogheda and its only 3 k from the sea

Hi Derek - my son lives on the coast (about a mile from the beach) and they've had a much milder winter than we have - they've had the wet yes, but they've had very little snow compared with the rest of us and far fewer frosts.
Gorgeous day today - gardening here I come
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Wow! Beautiful, Bob!
Brilliant picture BTB - I have only recently begun to appreciate how facinating the night sky is - would love to get a telescope.
