Ignorant and lazy? OK, I’ll buy that. There’s 88 constellations. I can, barely, count to 88 much less remember that many things. I know I wouldn’t have to know all 88 to be effective in my pursuit of astronomy in the Northern Hemisphere, but I try to be thorough. However, procrastination and laziness win every time. Ask my wife about me mowing the lawn. What I’ve decided is that in our twilight years, when Joe and I are about as old as Chuck, we can sit on the porch of the old folks’ home and learn the constellations. We won’t remember any more of them than we do, now, but it will be something to pass the time before they wheel us back to our rooms. Dave On Sep 6, 2011, at 3:21 PM, Chuck Hards wrote:

No insult perceived, Chuck. I love roughhouse discussions anyway.
Well, I didn't intend it to be roughhouse. Frank, but not brutal. There's a difference.
Joe, I am going to teach you the sky before I die. And I promise not to waste any of your imaging time. I may pull in Dave Bernson as color commentator.
Deal? ;-)
