Born Hunter 17,642 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 One month ago I noticed the same. Something very striking about it isn't there. Look through a half decent pair of binoculars and you'll see three or four of Jupiter's Galilean moons. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry I,m told constantly that I should get that due to the amount of time I spend out doors in remote often private places alone, but I don’t fancy fitting myself with a gps tracker everywhere I go, but do think it’s a really good thing for a lot of people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
