New Years Resolutions?

This year I want to...
1. Give up smoking.
2. Make a real effort to get to know the moon.
3. Declutter the shed.

well as always, i'll give up smoking first. I find this one pretty easy as i dont smoke

secondly i'd like to get more observing done and finally thirdly i'd like my mount to become goto via lappy control by the end of the year.


its the second one i am worried about

I quit smoking 6 years ago...(NYR 2000)
I got given a detailed Atlas of the Moon so I might try doing a bit more research!
And I will declutter the shed/workshop..just so I can build another mount!
Also, do heaps more observing throughout the year!

Hi all

NY's resolution
Cram more and more Star Parties into 2007.

And get myself (and maybe Anna) to the Texas Star Party (at least once in my lifetime).

Cheers

Mine is to satisfy the wife and go a whole week without buying ANYTHING - at ALL - related to astronomy or the pursuit thereof.
