As I drove up the winding road to my secret observing location, I idly mused upon the morality of the universe as I contemplated the night's aurora display. When I arrived at the parking lot, it was filled with friends eager for a night's observing. I counted at least 31 telescopes set up.
I started my night's observing with one of my favorite objects, M 83. It seemed most like a waterfall. Then, I found by accident IC 3560 in Perseus. It was as bright as the clouds I'd seen earlier. After I'd spent a few minutes looking at that, I studied IC 2224 in Sagittarius. It looked a bit like diamonds on black velvet. Next, attacking my personal nemesis, I showed some guests Abell 93 in Ursa Minor. It was easy, just like nothing I'd ever seen before. After that, I sketched Abell 33 in Camelopardalis. It was a blurry likeness of Miss Piggy. After that, I hunted B 646. It sparkled like the last six objects I'd seen.
After a short break to recite my mantra, I found M 49. It gave the appearance of a waterfall.
Finally, it was time to pack up and leave. As I drove home, I contemplated the events of the night, and realized that any night out under the sky with good friends is better than listening to the Monkees Box Set.
