Favorite Constellation?

Orion because I can find it!

Definitely Orion followed by Crux.

There is so much in Orion, it's visible on summer evenings... whenever Lyn and I are apart we often look for Orion while we talk on the phone... yeah, I know... ain't that sweet!

And Crux?... well it's "ours". I've been able to recognise it and find it for as long as I could remember. Being a New South Welshman it's always visible, and as a young man in my 20's living in Far North Queensland, I found I really missed it when I couldn't find it. As much as I loved my time in FNQ, not being able to see Crux all the time let me know how far from home I was!
