1 person. Back in the Fifties there was a television show called "What in the World". An object was shown back lighted creating a silhouette which a panel of bright cultivated people would attempt to guess what it was. Well this was how I felt tonight as I tried to identify the constellations by a single star here or a pair of stars there. For a while Orion walked around sans anything above his belt. Then his legs melted and finally the belt disappeared. I opened up for a few minutes when it finally socked in totally.

I did get a chance to look at Comet Machholtz which is currently quite near the Pleiades. I was surprised how bright it was because I had expected it to be a magnitude or two less.
