Albireo...it's apparently my school's star...

My favorite objects are the Horsehead Nebula...and Saturn's rings viewed live, not in pictures.

The center star on Orion's belt has been special to me for the last 20 years. Here comes the corny story, even though you didn't ask: My mother and I picked that star when I was being deployed to Panama. We agreed to go outside every Saturday night at 10:00 (adjusted for time zone) and look at it. It made us feel closer, because it was an object we could look at together. Much like a vase on a table. I later watched that star from 6 different countries, sometimes in some pretty adverse situations, and It always made me feel closer to home. Because my mom could see it too.

Yes, I always have been. It reminds me of how small we are in such a vast universe.

We gave one of our sons a telescope for his birthday, but recently i've found myself using it more than him, so yes i guess i am.

Yes ... with a degree in Astronomy ...

To a point I am. We live in a city and the city lights wash out the stars (are brighter than the stars). When out in the country I am amazed at how many stars you can see. I have never made a lot of sense out of the constellations though. I guess I haven't gazed enough. LOL
