So I decide to go buy a telescope today.
Been sat out in the dark using it since 11pm......it's amazing at how populated the sky is.
I certainly believe we're not alone in this universe  |

There's a planet to the west early evening and think it's Venus. A couple of weeks ago Jupiter was next to it. If you look at the moon, bottom right hand corner but towards the upper left middle of that quadrant, you can see the sea of tranquility where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. |

Your impulse buy seems so much more educational and interesting than the inflatable sofa I bought at 4am off the shopping channel.
I may have been a bit tipsy. |

I bought an SDS drill a couple of days ago. Two days later i was cutting up a stone fireplace with it. A great toy that will be used for the rest of today. My better half noted how my face lit up like a bairn in a toy shop  |

"I was staying in the countryside a few weeks ago.. had low light pollution and I was amazed at how many stars and how clear the moon looked.
Amazing."
You should go to one of the National parks and enjoy the dark skies project  |

My nephew and his partner came to stay for a couple of weeks. We took them up into the hills where it was pitch black, sheep on the road and camp fires in the distance.
She was terrified. She had never seen darkness because of the Thamesmead ambient light. Such a shame |

Cool purchase! 
Will also come in handy at any pirate themed fancy dress parties in the future!

We live on the Pennines so can easily get quite high up with next to no light pollution
Absolutely loving it, what seems empty to the eye is bustling with activity through the scope |

Dark skies make a huge difference. Get out of town. Set your telescope up and go dogging |

if your lucky you have a strong shed if not get hold of a free concrete garage and build a shed out of it like i did
the metal lathe has 2 uses can be used for metal or wood
other advice go through all the sale adverts as you can pick them up for next to nothing
one other thing dont get caught sneaking in the man cave  |
