One of the biggest obstacles facing astronomy enthusiasts is light pollution. A majority of people worldwide live in areas where the glow from city lights obscures much of the beauty of the night sky. In order to really appreciate the night sky and see as many stars as possible, it helps to make your way to a place away from city lights and the glow that they create. The most obvious thing to do is to go to the most remote area you can get to easily. However, how can you find the most remote dark sky location close to you? When I started observing a few years ago, I found a number of resources that have helped to pinpoint the best locations.

Storm force winds and showers are battering Tasmania today, with even stronger winds possible tomorrow. A complex westerly flow and multiple cold fronts are leading to the gales and showers over the state.

The first of these fronts moved through this morning, with winds averaging 40-60km/h over large parts of the state, even stronger on the coast and mountains. Wind speeds have been averaging close to 100km/h at Mount Wellington since early this morning, with gusts as strong as 135km/h at times. Maatsuyker Island in the south also managed to reach 122km/h this morning, while Hobart Airport peaked at 89km/h at 1pm, its strongest wind gust since December.

Welcome to our 5th day.  You probably don’t want to hear methods or ideas or best routes to our destination.  You probably just want to feel amazing.  We are shooting for fantastic.  Agape and Freedom promise spectacular.

Contemplating both, here’s what your day looks like:

You leap out of a warm comfortable bed.  Remember how you did that as a kid?  You can’t wait to see what comes next!  You run into the kitchen and enjoy a meal of fresh food, which you have plenty of.  You then spend the day engaged in DOing. 

Your “work” includes always your passion.  You are unrestricted in where you can do this and how you can do this and who you can do this with.  You are acknowledged for your unique brilliance and enjoy contributing.  Life is your stimulant.

What is absent are rules, requirements, debt.  There is nothing you “should” BE or DO.  You are Free to choose.
