Observing Sites
Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2009 6:14 pm
I'm on the hunt again!
The sheer fact that the site I found up in Corofin by the lake
saving our bacon for the meteor shower
(WHY did we not think of it for the BSP!!!?)
has made me even more determend to find an even more suitable
spot (or at least another back up)
This reminds me of my days hunting for surfing spots,
just like in this hobby, one spot may be dead while another 10 miles
away is going off.
It's all about options.
I will say that I am now a firm believer that lakeside spots bode well.
Even on Sunday night the Fog was (at it's thickest) lighter than elsewhere
and we even saw a meteor or two through it!
With this in mind I've spent some time on the sat nav / google earth
and I've started making a list of potential sites.
Now over the xmas break I intend to check them out...
If anyone is up for this kind of madness please let me know because
2nd and 3rd opinions on site are always most helpful.
So,
I'll post up the co-o's here with reasons as to why they might be good.
