A few years ago, Mrs Fuzzy and I had a belated honeymoon (30 years after the wedding) and went to Hawaii (Big Island- stayed in Hilo).

Whilst there, we did a sunset visit to the Mauna Kea observatory- several research telescopes atop a 14,000 foot volcano.





One of the telescopes up there is the Subaru Telescope. They have a webcam set up with a 24/7 live feed-

Cloudy as fuck at the moment but, I frequently check in during the day here when it is full dark in Hawaii- the sky is amazing and, I reckon on at least one meteor during a 5 minute visit every other session.

Yes Batch, it was a brilliant excursion and we finished with a sky tour by the driver pointing out various constellations and targets. The moon was up and bright but the dark sky was still much better than you would normally see from town.
