I'm like Stimbo. It's one of my hobbies, but all of I've got is my naked eye trying to cut through light pollution. It's been twenty years since I sat down and studied it, but I can still recognize many of the constellations, especially the ones that appear only in the Northern Hemisphere.
I just moved recently, and since we live next to a park, the stargazing is much better. I was fairly psyched to see the blood moon back in September, and it was completely overcast here the entire night. That's the life of a backyard astronomer in Michigan, though.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
