Have you been out to Pine Mountain Observatory yet? They stop public viewings at the end of September and won't start up again until sometime in May 2014. Pretty cool chance to look thru some powerful telescopes...we saw ring nebulas, the Andromeda Galaxy, double stars, a brief glimpse of Saturn before it slipped beyond the horizon.
I would highly recommend taking the binocular tour. You lay down with some binoculars and are taken on a tour of the night sky by an eager and well educated docent. I would do it again. We went up on Labor Day weekend and, of course, it was a zoo but lots of languages spoken and lots of curiosity on the loose!
