I'm pretty good at recognizing planets and galaxies, pretty bad at recognizing constellations. I can always find Polaris, thought, and with that the Big Dipper.
Jealous of both of you. I didn't note it in my original post in this thread, but I also live in a light polluted area (southern Chicago suburbs). While I can see a good amount of stars, I have been all over the country and have seen what you guys can experience every clear night. I wish I could to, especially since I am interested in astrology these days.
