AstronomyUkraine Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 As most people will know, Ukraine was attacked on the 25th of February for no reason whatsoever. I'm not getting into the politics of the situation, I think that's for other forums, but I'm happy to say I finally got out of Ukraine today. I'm currently in Krakow, but will move to Holland in a few days, to stay with friends until this war is ended. Obviously my astro imaging is on hold as all my gear is still in Ukraine. I hope to get back to Ukraine sooner or later, but that's out of my hands unfortunately. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit hairy to say the least. Ironically, we had clear skies for the last 7 days. Sometimes you just can't win in this game.

Tell you what, I've travelled around a lot of Poland today, the skies are amazing. No lights on motorways, street lights etc. it's a brilliant place for astro imaging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you might think I'm crazy, but we had 7 clear nights the last 7 nights, and all I thought about was how beautiful the sky looked, even with a full moon I could see many many stars, not usually visible when the normal light pollution is around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkulin Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 So good to hear that you are safe Brian, if you get stuck then I have space to put you up until I move and then can figure something out. If any of use can help then feel free? BTW we don't have any funny rules here, so don't worry about expressing your opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I expressed my opinion after what has been going on in the last few weeks in Ukraine, I would definitely get banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see that even in the hardest of situations you still worry about missing clear skies, keep your spirits up mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
