Lucky to have an observatory so close by. The closest one to me is more than 200 kms away! :-(

I always look at stars, when I go out. And it's nothing better, then watch the sky and talk with friends on a barbeque.

So, to all 'wannabees' . . . have you seen some 'aliens/UFOs' with your habit
That's the best discover any 'astronomer' can really dream of dudes

I'm in the board of my local astronomy society, "Deep sky exploration",
http://www.dse.no/.
And I am studying physical geography at the university of Oslo, my master thesis will be about Mars! I am going to compare landforms on both planets to see if they are made by the same processes. Especially landforms that seem to have been made under influence of water.

@JN - no UFOs yet - quite a few satellites though!
Stargazing can be very therapeutic and relaxing after a stressful day, and also makes us realise exactly how small we really are in the grand scheme of things. Brings things into perspective, really!
And I enjoy it too, of course!

Still about - not been able to do much astronomy for a while - it's been chucking it down despite it been supposedly the middle of summer! Then again, the British summer usually turns out to be our rainy season
So, do you have a favourite constellation, planet, star, galaxy or nebula?
I personally like the 'Double Double' in Lyra (Epsilon Lyrae I think it's official name is), the Andromeda galaxy, and the Plaedes (Mainly probably at the moment because I can actually find them!
)
