Edit

My very first observing session -- in the fall of 1967, when I was 10 years
old -- consisted of looking at Cygnus through 7x35 binoculars at my
grandparents' country house. I didn't know any constellations but must have
been looking at the area of the North America Nebula and the very rich star
fields to the south and east of it. It remains one of my favorite parts of
the sky.
