    Orion…nice. One thing I miss about the north west is just the sheer number of stars. However Florida does have cool lightning .

  2. Definitely. You should definitely head out to Myakka after sunset sometime — it’s stunning how many stars come out.

    The most I’ve seen since moving to Florida was on a boat coming back from the Keys. When you’re out away from the land they all tend to show up. I gotta say I do miss the prominence of the big and little dipper.

  4. whoa.
    I see Orion!
    Were you waiting to have someone point that out Krishen?
    heheh

  5. i see orion as well! whut!

  6. craig, haha… yep, well that was certainly part of it. the other part is… well, see that blurry patch, just below orion’s belt? i’ve always thought that was the seven sisters, but after doing some research on the web (and speaking with cam), i found out the sisters are nowhere near that location.
    anyone know what the blurry patch is, or if it even has a name?

  7. yes, yes I do…
    NASA calls it N-4980D
    It’s a far off galaxy comprised of Red Giants and swirling masses of gas recently released from a super nova. Accompanying the gas are orbiting matter – most likely reflective particles and solar flare resonance.
    (I actually have no idea what I’m talking about. I don’t even see a blurry patch… Perhaps it’s a finger smudge on your lens.)
    hahahha sorry… 🙂
