Yes Chris, Cindy (the Editor) has asked me to submit a piece, so i guess i will give it a go. Astronomy is such a big subject, but i think a good place to start is an intro to planetarium apps that most people can load onto their phones or tablets, which would help out those 48.5% of their readers who have no idea what they are seeing. Something like Sky Safari, which can provide so much info on each object, and a pair of binoculars, would go a long way in establishing foundations. That and some info on the importance of allowing your eyes to dark adapt, turning off the lights, etc.
Suggestions welcome. Given the scope she requested, i could see it turning into a series of articles over time.
