The sky is so clear tonight

I'm tempted to take my telescope out for viewing. For one thing, I can actually see the North Star from my apartment, which is not so common, and which the telescope uses to go to all other positions in its database. For another, Mars is extremely clear just to the naked eye. But, alas, it is late. I'm very tempted to join a local astronomy club (Bluegrass Amateur Astronomy Club) that meets monthly out at the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary to view the sky through telescopes. I think I would learn a lot, and it's just $10 a year. The next viewing date is Saturday. :)
