Yeah it's great out here in the bog. The leprechauns can be noisy though, but you just shake your shillelagh at them and they run off, faith so they do, and 'tis no word of a lie true as I'm standin' here.

What are some skywatching highlights in December 2020? Catch the year's best meteor shower, the Geminids, in the middle of the month. Then witness an extremely close pairing of Jupiter and Saturn that won't be repeated for decades. And mark the shortest day of the year on the northern winter solstice.

only cool thing I ever saw was when venus went in front of the sun. Used a welders glass to look at it.

Oh, and shooting stars/comets. You can see those with the naked eye in the mountains. They're pretty common.
