SkyTimes interview (p.2)
st: you often seem have a very esoteric view of the sky.
I'd call it 49% science, 51% beauty. My passion frequently comes out as humorous (to me, at least). Probably because my friend and mentor Rick Shaffer taught me, through his book, that stargazing could be interesting and fun. The night sky is still just a big playground to me.
st: you must have hundreds of asterisms. I've seen a few.
Showing amazing restraint I've only unleased 6 on the astro-community. I'm not even going to make my own catalog (but if I did it would be Sbr 1-6). Most appear in the A.L. Asterism Observe Program.
Little Joe (from Kokomo) in Pisces
The Jai-Alai or Ice Cream Scoop in Perseus
The Sir Patrick Cluster in Cassiopeia (couldn't resist)
