Am I the only one to experience this? I haven't had the chance to get out with the telescope so much this year (have had a lot going on) or last year for that matter.
And I feel like some times I get out the scope and I can find everything I use to be able to find with general ease. The usual suspects: Omega Cen, Jewel Box, Carina Neb, Sombrero Galaxy, Centaurus A, NGC3918 etc...
And then Friday night, for example, I stood out there looking up at the sky in a complete daze and felt like I had no idea what I was doing! The seeing seemed particularly rubbish too (or maybe my eyes were just really tired
) and I only ended up seeing Omega Cen, Saturn and M6 before I called it a night because I was just staring up at the sky like "What am I doing!?"
Maybe I was just particularly tired but I felt like I just couldn't get a grasp on anything... maybe I need to go back to basics, get out the binos and just do some star field cruising...
Anyway, I really want to get back into posting more on the forum again and get my astro on
