We've spent many a night sat out on the decking, drinking wine and looking up at the stars. The sheer amount of stars visible on a clear night is way more than I have ever seen before. And it's not just the amount of stars that is awesome, it's the different constellations that you can see too.
The following is the best picture of Comet McNaught we actually got!
With the laptop outside, we spent nights looking at star maps on the BBC website, trying to identify the stars and planets above us. If only we had the stuff we have now!If you're like us and you use Google Earth to find your way around, you'll know about the new version! Google Earth now has the option to flip your view, and instead of looking down at your house, you can look up at the skies above it.
So after upgrading recently we tried it out. Here's the skies above us now.
