Never get tired of Orion!

I just wish I had the spunk like I did as a kid to take the telescope out in the winter.

Aint happening!

Back in the mid 90s I remember spending the better part of my stargazing looking for the Horsehead Nebula, located under Orion’s belt. I was using a fairly small scope but still couldn’t seem to spot it. Later upgraded to a 10” and boom, there it was!
