My mate Ian Musgrave, who is too clever for six ordinary people, has sent me this:
The Big Aussie Starhunt is well underway! I did my survey tonight, the first chance I've had with the clouds and kids. The Big Aussie Starhunt is a Australia wide event to get people more familiar with our wonderful night sky, and to raise awareness of light pollution so it's well worth participating . All you have to do is count how many stars you can see in Scorpius during Science Week (15 – 23 August 2009). The 23rd is coming up fast, so get out and have a go!
You can get to the Aussie Starhunt here or go directly to the survey page.
Use SkippySky to get cloud cover predictions.
