looked up, didn't see anything moving

got fixated with how bright my ceiling light is from outside

seems like the night sky just gets less visible each year

I guess it's more visible in colder months though.. or is it?

I want to see like a truly clear sky, like they used to have it before electric light

ah well. I'll just post on TWW instead

Are you in a city? Light pollution makes the night sky look like shit. Go out in the middle of nowhere and you can see like a billion stars once you've been outside for a bit and your eyes have adjusted.

Oh wow. Cool link! Looks like that area you are talking about has better star viewing possibilities than anywhere in NC/SC

The x in the NE, or the x above the word falls would be the closest. I wonder if the western most x would be worth going to.

haven't seen any in the last few nights

visibility has been somewhat limited though

also, if you've seen one star (or large object moving in the sky), you've seen 'em all

Check this place out if you're near Burnsville, NC. They're "Dark Sky Approved", and they have an observatory at the top of a mountain. The roof comes off and they have a couple of huge telescopes. It's neat. They also have a planetarium.
