Well said... I was just saying today that I thought life would slow down more than it has after semi-retirement...
Now with your telescope... Be sure to take a look at Albireo (not certain of spelling)... it is a really beautiful double star found at the "foot of the Northern cross"... or the southern-most star of Cygnus the Swan... One of the stars is yellow and the other is blue.. quite a sight...
You've challenged me... thank you!!
