It really is amazing when you think about it that just by looking up on any given night, you could see virtually hundreds of thousands of stars, star systems, planets, moons, asteroids, comets and maybe a even an occasional space shuttle might wander by. For many amateur astronomers, we sometimes cannot get enough of what we can see on this our closest space object.
