I forgot to mention, in my report, that we spent every night of our Christmas trip stargazing. We had a wonderful view from the studio at Mt. Vernon. Orion started his journey through the sky at about 6pm. We also could see Gemini, big and little dippers, and, I think, Taurus. There's a great ipad app that identifies all the stars and other celestial objects when you point it at the sky--Skyview. It was a wonderful cap to a day of sun worship at Club O.

We have the app too. It is really very cool especially on SXM.

Stargazing would be oh so much better if I could just arrange for GEBE to fail at a convenient time, LOL.

I've been amazed at how different the night sky looks, compared to home! 20 degrees of latitude make a difference! :>)

Stargazing in Montana is the best---no surrounding lights to distract but alas, no cell service in most parts so that app would be a waste.
