Astronomy Is A Great Life


 Last night I was online from 10pm - 2:42am chatting about deep sky hunting, planet hunting, saw an unbelievable amount of amateur astronomy people's sites and observances it put me in such a deep peace and focus place. This morning in the kitchen filled with deep peace reading Mike Brown the planet hunters memoir of finding planets etc I cannot believe my focus. Great book.. click here. 


I have a new story on my blog, have more to write up today and I have to get my imac out, let the astronomers work begin. Deep sky observing is on the menu again tonight, and a few Moon craters. My observing life is back !

    Hi NSG,
    Two weeks ago we had very nice weather here also and this called for an observation Session from about 23pm until 03am with incredibly nice temperatures, you could easily remain outside in a T-shirt.

    I also tried out the first of the Top Double Star list, some awesome sights..
    Not the best nights in darkness this time around so some objects were much more hazy and difficult, but we managed to work up a nice list with mixed items anyway.
    A resume below:
