My last visit here was January 2012. I've been ignoring the call of the stars for 3 years, but the weekend saw me drag the old Schmidt-Newt out and I was well chuffed. I discovered that my old bones not likey the cold as much, my dew shield was not to be found (quickly made one out of cardboard), I couldn't recall the markers for eyeball-aligning my GEM, the neighbors trees had gotten really big, and what a thundering nuisance the Moon is.

But it's good to be back.
