I saw an article a day or two ago about all the planets aligning on Feb 28 and thought of you!
We have a Dark Sky region here in Georgia at a state park next to the Okefenokee Swamp that I've been wanting to visit. Although we get pretty dark skies out where I grew up--not as dark as they were when I was a kid, I don't think, but still some good stargazing. I've downloaded Stellarium!
Very cool about the Dark Skies region. It's interesting to look at the maps... Europe is mostly a massive white-out, but I'm sure once you zoom in you find pockets of darkness. I hope you enjoy Stellarium!
My sister lives in Australia, meaning I've been to the Aussie outback a few times. The nighttime skies deep in the desert are incredible--no light pollution!
Thank you, have downloaded Stellarium
Great! Hope you enjoy it.

The Netherlands, on the other hand...;-)
Yes, I saw all that blank space on the skyglow maps, what arresting star vistas they have! ✨️
