Thanks Waspie, I was out looking at Comet Lovejoy a couple of weeks ago, not much to see as comets go, but only the third one I've seen in my lifetime.

I am very unlucky guy really, where i am i can't see anything and i really doubt that it's because of city light pollution only. It's terrible, even tru telescope i can only see darkness ( and yeah, i always open lens cover so that can be ruled out ).

Wonderful post. I have noticed in recent months that Oriion has changed position. I am not alone in this thinking.

The inuits say the night sky has changed. If you don't like this link, find another. This story is all over the place.

I kept looking for it and never saw it. Had I beenn in W Kansas where light pollution is at a minimum, I am sure I could have seen it.

Fingers are frozen. Took the dog out. Sorry for the typios.

Orion has been my guardian in the sky for decades now. I always look for it.
