When I escaped from 55 degrees north a few years back, I expected things to be better on the Astro front, but never expected the sky's to be nearly as good as they are (Qld clouds excepted).
My first view of 47 Tuc made all the years looking at M13 seem pointless, and the pleasures within Carina, Sagittarius, Scorpius and Canis Major to name but a few are seemingly endless.
Feel sorry for the high northern latitudes, for they know not what they are missing.
(having said all that, Halle-Bopp stretched across the dark winter sky's on a crystal clear night ranked second only to the 1999 Total eclipse in my lifetime Astro highlights, both Northern events! and I quite enjoyed the occasional Aurora Borealis, and the perseus double cluster. Oh yes and some great galaxies. Er, what did the romans do for us ....)
