Sitting in the Dark with my Laptop
I sit in the dark with my laptop on my knees. That’s how I’ve been writing all my blog posts since I’ve been at the Winter Star Party if I write the posts at night.
It is nighttime now and dark outside. To guard our night vision, all bright lights have to be squelched. Only red filtered flashlights are allowed.
The inconvenience is worth it because our eyes are adjusted to the darkness well enough that we can see the Milky Way Galaxy, that band of stars that are our home galaxy.
It’s a good feeling to be among my amateur astronomer friends looking at the heavens.
