Galactic Center of Milky Way Rises over Texas Star Party from William Castleman on Vimeo.
Back in the day when I was a sailor, my ship cruised the deep Pacific and Indian Oceans but I never got to learn the night sky since I spent the whole time inside CIC staring at radar scopes. Alack, alas. A few years ago, I delved briefly into the backyard astronomy world, enough to map the constellations (The stories that humanity has projected upon it! The history! The science!), enough to come to the realization that one need not buy that 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope like I did (a good set of binoculars works spectacularly), enough to know that one not need strap on the inner-?ber-geek to tap into plenty of richness of our night sky.
