If only there wasn't so much light pollution, imagine all the things we'd be seeing on the night sky.

#astronomie je profite de l'actualité avec les comètes #C2023A3 #Tsuchinshan et #C2024S1 pour me replonger dans le livre de N. James et G. North "observing comets" paru en 2002. Franchement ce livre reste un must have sur le sujet même 20 ans après ! Seulement 13€ d'occasion ça vaut le coup.

Life's a bit shit at the moment as I've been in a car crash which was not our driver's fault and am living on painkillers and muscle relaxants.
But after weeks and months I am finally, FINALLY at the right #latitude, free of clouds, and free of mountains to see C/2023 A3 #Tsuchinshan-#ATLAS. And just as I have my binoculars in the right spot, not knowing it's the right spot yet, a #meteorite streaks through my field of view.
Probably the first and last time in my life I see a meteorite at 10x.
