Happy Eclipse Day from the US.

Lets talk Astronomy!
Are you good at naming stars or constellations? Have you ever used a telescope?
I have always loved stargazing but I’m not the best at finding constellations. Its much easier with the app on my phone to guide me. I can name some; but not as many as I would like. Just enough to impress my kids when they were little.
When DH and I were first married he bought me a small telescope for my birthday and its still one of my most memorable gifts he or anyone has ever given me. It’s not fancy but I’ve seen some neat things with it. If I had tons of play money I’d get a computerized one that will help you find things. I used to subscribe to an astronomy magazine for beginners; but when they closed that and moved me to the regular Sky & Telescope I lost interest.
