If you guys don't know, I'm somewhat of an amateur astronomer. Which basically means that I go outside, stare at the stars and the planets and everything up there and can find a few constellations and planets. I'll be adding a few of my own hand-drawn sketches from the star log I used for my class, which means it will have my teacher's corrections on it. I'll also post interesting stuff about the constellations and cool celestial events you should know about.

Please note: I live in upstate New York, which means that if you live in the southern hemisphere, some of what I post may not apply to you. I'm posting what I see.
