Another trip to the country.. 4 years ago

.. and another series of constellation discoveries. Over the last few days I viewed Lyra, Cygbus, and Aquila. All three contain the brightest starts in the August night skies, so are the are fairly easy to spot. I also learned that August is the best month for viewing shooting stars and I saw several during my star gazing.

Founds my first 4 constellations 4 years ago

Thanks to a great book called 365 starry nights. It gives you one small section of the sky to study every day for a month. Using July’s map, I found Hercules (or at least the keystone), the Corona Borealis, Saggitarius (the Teapot), and Scorpius. It was a very exciting night for me as it has been a lifelong dream of mine to find the constelations, and I’m finally doing it!

Going camping next weekend and down to unlight polluted Southern Illinois a few weeks after that. 4 years ago

Hopefully I will be able to recognize a few constellations. I plan on stopping at the library and picking up a book or two to help me navigate the night sky.

I'm taking my son to the library later this week. 4 years ago

He’s signing up for their summer reading program, That’ll be a good time to kill another goal, start using the library, and then I’ll check out a book on constellations. Can’t wait to get lost in the night sky!

I've always wanted to do this. 4 years ago

I just never took the time. Now, I’ll find time.
