Our Night Sky Connection - An Aspiring Way

VERY glad I have a blog again, loving it how it is just about my observing , no deep astronomy writing. Observing is my focus in my life now, my life renewal, my new  observing toys and observing with them is my total focus.

When I wake up I'm already thinking of it and what I can find to observe out there and it fuels my day. Sophy too but glad to be happy and focused again on my passion for observing. I always have a star map notebook and observing book when eating etc. I have lists of plans and lists of what's out there on my scope. When I go to bed at night I am elated about being out there once again and think of how amazing it all really is or listening to At The Eyepiece podcast. Either way it is on my mind as I fall asleep. I am a happy soul.

Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

I know what you mean, but usually after three weeks of really good telescope time, I need a break. I'm almost at that point right now, but there is too much good stuff out there, and we're losing our summer constellations. All those southern globs that I will miss, Comet Garradd, Vesta easy to find, the ice giants easily within reach now that I've taught myself how to starhop, and Jupiter getting better every night. And then there is Luna, which never bores me.

I need a break, but not too long.

Sorry, I thought Uranus & Neptune were commonly referred to as ice giants. They don't have as much hydrogen as Jupiter & Saturn, and are thought to have icy cores. When referring specifically to Uranus and Neptune, I call them ice giants, instead of gas giants. I think even my astronomy textbook a few years ago classified them that way.
