@albertfish - what a co-inky-dink!
it was only yesterday in the Chatbox Mr_Wiggles asked about you
and I had mentioned you and your telescope ^,^



hope the weather has been good to your observations.
I recommend you check out the nearest Dark Sky Preserve.

so are you still studying Andromeda?
(I have a hunch there's living beings in that galaxy/nebula/constellation)

I no longer have a telescope... it started off as a nightly observation,
then lost interest after not witnessing any UFO's or aliens



I first studied the Moon, then I started off with Ursa Major (Big Dipper)
and learned how to locate other asterisms with it's pattern and nearby Polaris (North Star)
and the rest of Ursa Minor (little dipper.)

Once you get the hang of it... it's fun to use your favorite
star as a guidepost. Mine was Regulus.

other than comets and meteor showers what really struck my interest was the stories in connection to the name of the stars. killer mythology ^,^ -
