Guys, what's the story behind this one? Is it a one-off? I haven't posted here in a loooong time, so I'm a little out of the loop...ilan wrote:The walnut-less front ain't too bad either

Yeah, the "remote fortress" is now about 7600 miles more remote on the other side of the planet...jps wrote:Does Dorothy know of this trip to the South Pacific?bassduke49 wrote:Yep, one-off eBay special that I will one day burgle from C.J.'s remote fortress.

) of the galaxy from here. Lots of cool stuff to see there. I'm a bit disoriented though, all of the familiar constellations aren't there or are in a different direction. I'd be hopeless trying to navigate by the stars. Plus, you can't see the North Star and there's no South Star.I spend three nights a week in the Pilbara on a mining camp, away from all source of lights. I am still amazed at the sky each time I look. The Southern Sky is nice but I miss my classics (big dipper, etc.). Locating the true South is a bit more difficult compared to the North...cjj wrote:Four, Feb 2010. Time flies, huh?
As an avid sky watcher/amateur astronomer, it IS cool to look at a totally different set of stars. I need to get a good telescope, you've got a good view of the center (or should I spell that centre?
As for the sun, it's really not noticeably different. You just have to remember that it's to the North instead of the South. Otherwise, it still comes up in the East and sets in the West. But it has been summer here, maybe it'll get weirder as winter progresses. Of course, everyone's satellite dishes and solar panels point North as well...

I have a 93 4003S that's NOT like that.
