Carol- I'll never look at Auriga the same way again. After receiving my new 10x50's yesterday I had to give them a trial run. First stop was Carol's Smiley Face and Jeremy's Grrrr. Gotta admit it reminded me of your avatar, and made me smile too

I also took some long looks at M36/37/38, M42, M45, M31, the Hyades, and comet Machholz. Before I called it a night I took a look at the CSF asterism again and headed off to sleep, still smiling. Thanks Carol!
