("I'm usually pretty good with 'eeny-meeny-miny-mo'....but pretty stumped here?")
SKETCHING.....BINOS.....DSO.....?
So if in doubt, GENERAL wins.
My last time here I pretty much hung my hat in the SKETCHING forums....but that was a long time.ago.
But as I renter the hobby after so much time off, I'll still be a 'visual observer.....and still lean towards sharing my renderings in the sketch department', old loves die hard.
Though instead of a big DOB this time it'll be with binoculars.
So, 'UNFINISHED BUSINESS'.......
I had done all my last viewing from my own yard, in my own observatory under predominantly NELM 6 skies.
I was a faint fuzzy enthusiast. But even though I was nestled down in my own little dark space, the glow from street lights, neighbors porch lights, a convenience store a block away....'faint fuzzies', except for an occasional odd ball were just that...faint fuzzies......even the GREAT ANDROMEDA GALAXY, though naked eye most part for me, was not definable.
So my greatest love, so close yet so far, was just out of reach.
So I began to cheat in my waning last trips to that scope....
