Nice stuff to share, Jon. Thanks for digging those up. Ditto Vauktu and Apollo. I've been considering astronomy as a hobby, but I likes my sleep! The thing is, astronomy people are a lot like us... they can think about the more esoteric stuff in this life and enjoy it. I need to go to a star party or something, just to try it out. Tucson is supposed to be great for looking up.

Definitely go to a Star Party! They're literally epic! During the winter I take my telescope out to a monthly Star Party by my local observatory, and even tiny as these are they're still great. I went to a national Star Party near Dublin last year and I must say it was one of the best events I've even been to in my life.

When Im older, or at least get the funding, Im heading off to the Fort Davis Star Party in Texas.
