The Astronomy Thread

[Rallye Sport]

I thought I'd start a thread to see if theres any other stargazers on the site or maybe to inspire some new ones. Its a great, generally free hobby for young and old.

I start work in the early hours, the golf course is a great viewing point and I've made a point of taking five minutes to turn the lights off on our darkest 8th green every morning to see whats up there.

I'll start with satellites as they're easy to spot with the naked eye.
Australia is a big place so we're all going to be seeing different things but this site is a great starter to see the Space station, Hubble telescope, Starlink/ Spacex and many others. It even has a street view that shows the location in the sky from your position.

There are a couple of other sites out there but this one super reliable and they come over like clockwork.

Fell free to tell every one what you've seen, discuss telescopes, up coming events and anything else astrology related.
