Old Fomalhaut. I’d recognize him anywhere.

Thank you for the post.

I learned a little something.

Once in a while I try my hand at moon photography. A little success.

A very colorful collection of stars. It’s too bad they’re scattered all over the sky, wouldn’t it be a sight if they were really that close together….

I remember 'Antares' from Star Trek for some reason...

My B-52 Navigator told me that, when on training flights, the students would use, for 3 star fixes, Dubhe Denab and Dallas.
“The body is Sirius “. Are you serious?

On a celestial Nav leg he proudly said “I was off by two miles”
I said, “Great, I’ll land two miles short of the runway!”

Ahh, the memories!
