[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Caleb - do you have a planetarium program for your home computer, or a printed planisphere to refer to at all? These were designed to answer your question and show you what's where at any time of the day, and on any day of any year.

Everyone has their own favourite list of objects, which then go to determine the time of year an observer might call their "favourite".

All I know is that I'm getting very tired of the current weather patterns and cannot wait for winter again. Winter skies are so crisp and cold down in Cooma and in southern Sydney. The best time of year for me.
