Apples and Oranges

Star gazing

Well, the iPhone isn't really good to take photos in the dark with… as seen here… But, that's the observatory with one of the telescopes.
I managed to take 15-20 photos á 30 seconds and then both sets of batteries were dead. But, the sky above me was just amazing!! I could see the Milky Way with my eyes and just stood there looking… I saw a star fall… and yes, I made a wish. ;)
I also saw two satellites flare, when the sun shone on there huge disks. I saw lots of small satellites move across the sky and stars and galaxies in one of the telescopes.
It was cold, though, and even if there is a small cabin to get warm in I was a bit cold. More clothes next time! And we got home rather early because the mist covered first the ground and then the sky.
A warm cup of tea, I think, and then of to bed.
