I consider myself lucky to have passed the three score and ten and still be able to follow my interests.
Having had a slightly early night made it easy to go sky watching at 5 in the morning. There were numerous shooting stars to be seen in the direction of Orion,shown in the picture below.It was taken from a northern star map so we see it upside down here. The tree stars in the middle are his belt were the sword is hanging up instead of down in the southern Hemisphere.
The meteorites were seen in the middle of the map and were of quite short duration.There were some strange lights that seemed as though they were meteorites coming straight at the viewer because they only lasted the same time as the ones seen sideways on.
After having a quick coffee and cigarette it was time for the sunrise. This was not very spectacular this morning as the weather forecast was for a dry day. The best and most colorful is when we are due for rain or a cloudy day.
The Sunset was quite colourful last night and lasted for about half an hour as it has to set behind the trees on a bit of higher ground.
