Welcome Faith.
I am very impressed by your consistent and persistent observing efforts over many years. I have waxed and waned (pardon the astronomical reference) in my observing diligence...at the moment things are quiet, but I am slowing picking up steam for another run of observing nights over the warmer months. Well done, for faithfully keeping an eye on the heavens while some of us snooze...
I recently saw the northern skies for the first time ever, during a 22 day holiday in France. It was a thrill, while in Provence, to see some of the northern constellations, and especially to see Polaris. It seems a bit of a cheat, for you northerners to get a star so close to the celestial pole!
Anyhoo, welcome, hope you find the community here to your liking. I like it having another visual observing on board....sometimes we are somewhat outnumbered by the imagers!
