Its OK Jen,

Orion and M42 are on their way back around, as well as the SMC and LMC areas which to me have been blocked by the houses around me for the last 4 months.

Saturn will be missed, but I think you need to make a few globulars your favourites, like M2 and M15 or maybe even 47 Tuc,

You will be fine, just breathe and keep looking up.

Oh, and dont forget a few emoticons, when you reply, you know you want to.

Jen,

By around October 9th or there abouts, you should be able to start
catching glimpses of it in the morning twilight... if your an early riser.

regards,CS

It will be back Jen.

It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

Yes I miss it too. I always observe it for about 10 to 15 minutes before I start an imaging or observing session. Same with Jupiter.

If I recall, wont the rings be on edge this year?
