Light relief

As a reader who lives in an area of suburban street lighting, one of my favourite sections of Sky at Night Magazine is the ‘ Binocular Tour’ in the ‘ Sky Guide’, whose objects are bright enough not to be washed out. This is especially true in a time hen I cannot get out into the countryside due to the lockdown.

In the April 2020 issue (on page 54) I enjoyed the ‘Three Leaps of the Gazelle’, not only because of the story but because of the lovely colours of some of the stars that form the hoof prints. I am really looking forward to when I can see my grandchildren again so I can share the story and the colours with them. Jeff Mason, Stockport
