"Martin" wrote in message ... Don't think Jodrell Babk is affected much by light pollution mind :-) It would have been funny if the sky had been clear. Imagine, Rajesh Unpronounceable runs up to a keen amateur in the crowd with his eye to the eyepiece of his lovingly crafted 14" dobsonian. Rajesh with wide eyes "What have we here?!" astronomer "This is my home made telescope" Rajesh "Wow, you built it yourself?" astronomer "Yes, it took me 12 months and because of its size is described as a 'Light Bucket'" Rajesh "Amazing! What can you see through it?" astronomer "Nothing, the piggin' BBC floodlights are drowning everything..........." Rajesh "Ooh, quickly, lets go to Sophie, there's an interesting picture just come in from La Palma!" camera switches to Sophie Lay-worth Ok, so it probably wouldn't have happened like that, but what the hell......?
