Thanks for this -- I always look forward to it.

I'm glad to see you mentioned M3. This Saturday (May 3rd) is the 250th anniversary of its discovery by Messier. Indeed, it was the first Messier object discovered by Messier himself, so a pretty special anniversary. A good occasion to observe it in bins!
