Nice PING!
I'm over here in Iraq. It gives a new definition to dark. There is literally no backlighting, and stargazing out here is superb.
And I get to use NVG's and telescopic sights, too! Hee hee!
Thank you for your service! :)
I can imagine that the stargazing is wonderful there. The best I've encountered myself was in Yosemite ... unbelieveable number of stars ... I stayed outside until my teeth were chattering so hard it was causing my vision to blur ;-)
Hey, Sarge! Thanks and stay safe!
