I can remember the night sky being like that as a kid when street lights were fewer and dimmer.<br /><br />It is a shame that amateur astronomy and amateur radio are both becoming activities that many people can't any longer pursue from home due to spectrum pollution.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-20952608920823248392009-12-14T06:08:31.959+00:002009-12-14T06:08:31.959+00:00Julian,

We got a good look a Saturn, Jupiter and it's moons.<br /><br />Most of the time Seattle has a lot of cloud cover - but when it is clear (as the last two weeks) it is CLEAR and DARK! I live in a small valley with ridges and tall trees to the North, West and South and the nearest light source is a small light about 1/4 mile away. In the summer the milky-way is a bright band light, enough to light your way.<br /><br />I should take advantage of my night sky! but I have too many hobbies now.<br /><br />Best to you.<br /><br />Eldon - WA0UWH<br /><br />-Eldon R.
