There's more stars out in the middle of the ocean.

Scared ya, eh?




Uh, Scotty...wanna explain how one would mount and use a astronomical
telescope on a small boat? IT can work on a cruise ship, or drilling
platform and probably Joe's houseboat since it's tied tightly to the
dock!

Some of the best amateur viewing I've had has been with a 7x50 on a boat.
There's nothing like being miles away from the nearest light.


Even without binoculars .. saw amazing number of stars at about 150 miles
off. When we were in Baja recently, same thing, and we were anchored
within 100 yards of shore.

Do they even have electricity in Baja now? g

Got that right. About two miles out on Lake Michigan on a clear,
moonless
night affords an amazing sight.

Until they open the furnaces down in Gary. Then the sky would glow red.

We're about 150 miles north of Gary. Anyone stupid enough to live anywhere
near Gary deserves more than light pollution.

He's far enough north that you can't see Gary, even at night...

You live a lot closer to Gary than anyone else here, Maxdope.

You should consider moving there. You'd fit right in.

You're closer to NYC than Max is, that's 50 times worse than
Gary.
