There are lots of satellites here in the southern skies too. But the stars behind the satellites are absolutely incredible! The Milky Way was absurdly bright! The Magellenic Clouds were so easy to see! WOOOOWWWWW
That was something that really struck my partner and I when we were last down in that part of the world (in 2018). We stayed in Leura, in the Blue Mountains, and were blown away by how clear the night sky was even despite still being really close to Sydney.

@sundogplanets I'm so glad we turned on the decent summer weather for your visit. January was miserable for stargazing.

@sundogplanets I miss the milky way, not seen it in so long

@sundogplanets Yes! So much this. As someone who grew up in Brazil, the night sky over there "has so much more stars" than in Canada.

A long time ago — when I was still a small child — I visited parts of Europe that did not have street lighting at the time. Deep in the night, I could find my way home while enjoying the beautiful night sky. When the moon was full, the ancient footpaths seemed to glow. -

@sundogplanets Beautiful photos – could you describe your technique? lens/aperture/exposure time?

Never saw them, thanks.

@sundogplanets Highly envious of your views from the southern hemisphere.

It's also so taken for granted down here by so many - what we know so what ee expect and are then astonished when people describe how little they can ser

@sundogplanets Now imagine Musk's planned 1'000'000 additional "satellites".

@sundogplanets As a stargazer in the northern hemisphere I've always dreamed of seeing the southern skies!

"Really close to Sydney", for anyone thinking of adding it to their Sydney visit itinerary = a 2 hour drive, over 100km, putting the Blue Mountains mountain range between Leura and light pollution from Sydney. 🤪

@sundogplanets Jealous, once again.

1. We're both from Canada, 100km / a 2hr drive is "really close" in terms we understand.
1a. You can get there from Sydney by train, so it's pretty doable for any visitor, really.
2. 100km is rarely if ever far enough to escape light pollution from a major and fairly sprawling metro like Sydney, so it's actually something pretty special.
3. Not sure why you felt the need to post such a glib response to me saying something positive about the area.
