March is going to be good for sky watching

Yeah...overnighting in the Canyons the sky is so amazing it is hard to describe. I like to just lay down in the cockpit and look up with the sound of the water against the hull... I told my wife, when I go just put my ashes out there, will ya?

I have always been a recreational star-gazer.
I have a Celestron with a variety of lenses, two Barlow 2X magnifiers and a pretty good back yard.
I love showing my neices and nephews objects in the night sky.
Most kids have not seen Jupiter and its moons, Saturn's rings, or even the craters on the moon. My relative HAVE!
There was a comet that was visible back during one year in the early 90's that was visible withthe naked eye. With the telescope I could see the ice-ball that it was made of!

How many of us have seen objects in the night sky that we couldn't quickly identify?
I've seen the space station a few times, numerous satellites, and falling stars that looked more like fireworks that shooting stars.
