Hi Guys, it been a long time off the eyepiece....to much work not enough play.

Anyway, getting the bug again after a few years, I found one of the main things Getting back into astronomy is catching back up with the night sky.
So I was wondering for people like me, and beginning astronomers, is it possible to have this thread turn into a sort of menu on what is going on above tonight, so we can chime in and go and have a look whats going on.......you know, things like what planets etc are visible.....maybe other astronomical events etc etc
more of a watered down night to night thing rather than major events which is already covered in there own section........
Is this reasonable or maybe a bit much.
