Abstract
For many backyard astronomers, the winter is prime time for observing. The skies are dark and transparent because of low humidity. No insects crawling up the legs or flying and buzzing around the head. The trees have lost their leaves and allow more sky to be seen. And rising from his summertime slumber, Orion rises above the horizon to welcome the astronomers to another wintry observing night.
