Mike I hope Cygnus WILL become a favorite hunting ground. It is almost certainly my favorite constellation. Don't know if the Cygnus notes from your observing...
Mr. Bill- Very interesting post. 1. I also suffer from VERY BAD floaters, not really sure why, I've had them since I was a kid and went to the eye doctor when...

First, thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. I will get back out tonight "if" the clouds cooperate and do some adjusting at infinity. While Im at it...
