Hi Wade, and a very happy new year to you too.
That's a treasure trove of pickings to show first timers - guaranteed oohs and aahs. And we still do it ourselves with these targets don't we?!
I've seen Andromeda only once which left me on an unbelievable high (I admit I even had a dream about it
). I will never forget it, then the clouds rolled in for months while it sunk lower and lower and I could never get it back
. Even tried relentlessly through gaps in clouds with binos several times, but to no avail
. Determination was 100% which then bordered on stupidity until I waived the white flag of surrender. I'll have to wait patiently for the next time around that it visits
Thank you for the report, and so glad you were able to share your experiences and had a wonderful time.
