Hi Don.
Having been born and raised in London, and having my early interest and participation in astronomy under northern hemisphere skies, I have a nostalgic affection for skies 'up there'.
I can't think of anything specific. I miss not being able to see Ursa Major/Minor and the areas around those constellations.
I miss not having a very bright star like Polaris on hand to help with polar alignment.
Cassiopeia and some of its associated objects was also another fave. Such a nice area to scan.
I also used to really enjoy having Lyra and Cygnus so high in the sky and easily visible. Especially at this time of the year.
Even after living in Australia for 24 years, Orion still looks upside down to me here in Oz!!!
But as you say, we are spoilt for choice down here.
