Title: Any astronomers in?
Post by: Pjlons83 on October 29, 2019, 09:06:09 PM
(WARNING - Rule 1 applies to skies too. It's just a bit of fun!)

Very loosely model related so I thought it was best placed in the general section for a bit of fun. I was "playing" whilst painting the sky for my Gold Hill layout tonight. Can anyone spot anything of interest?

Hint - there's 2 in there somewhere.

Orion

Well spotted. Even though I missed his helmet. I've added it since!  :-[

P.s. I hadn't counted the comment so there's still one to find.  :goggleeyes:

Not personally, but I have an archery buddy who works for Joderall Bank and the Square Kilometer Array (SKA).  I could get her to take a look if you like?

Comet T2PanSTARRS, Orion and Cassiopeia/Andromeda although the orientation is definitely rule 1.
