Thanks go out to the beautiful and talented Ms. Tracy Allen!
There’s a great tool I recommend to anyone interested in observing the night sky and it’s free to download every month. They have created these for various places on Earth as well!
If you haven’t already heard of it, it’s the two page free download over at SkyMaps.com
SkyMap for December 2020
Here’s the process of getting the SkyMap for your location…
Visit the site > scroll down a bit, if necessary > click on the download button > pick your location: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere or Equator > download the SkyMap for yourself
Every month, they offer a new ‘SkyMap’ for each part of Earth and you can download and print one for yourself that month to use when you observe the night sky. These are great for several reasons. I’ll talk a little bit more about that later on. Right now, Here are the things you can look for…
December 2020

Last Quarter Moon
10th

Geminid Meteor Shower

Jupiter & Saturn Great Conjunction

27th

Notable objects…
Easily Seen with the Naked Eye
The Pleiades Star Cluster
Easily Seen with Binoculars
The Andromeda Galaxy
Telescopic Objects
The Messier objects… M1, M33, M81,M82, M27
Ways I have used the SkyMaps…
I like to print them out, double sided, and give them to people who come to my Star Party or who take my class. They make a great ‘handout’ for pennies!
I print them out for my own observing sessions too. I put a date on them and make notes or draw things in the margins.
On the back, or page 2, I put a check mark next to every one of the objects I see in the night sky during that sitting in all the categories: Naked Eye, Binoculars and Telescopic Objects. This makes a great record of your observing session and it’s easy to do.
If you go out more than once in a month, you can print out and date a new version each time, then put them together in a binder to track your progress.
I have written the names of people I met and drawn things in the margins like the phase of the Moon and the positions of the moons of Jupiter for that session.
How might you use such a tool for our own observing sessions? I love learning new ways to use tools already on hand, thanks in advanced!

I have served up so much free stuff over the years that some people may think I am plotting world domination by spreading my grey matter all over the internet.
I have laid out the incredible benefits and hard-core reality of what you are losing by not joining the Everyday Spacer Membership at the best time to join – when we are just getting started and offering the best deals!

This message isn’t about any of those benefits. This message is about acknowledging that we all have our doubts; some secret fears that hold us captive in the status quo.
Fears that don’t allow us to move forward, even when we know it’s the right thing to do.
This email is my attempt at putting those fears to rest. To give you simple, honest and brutally straightforward answers to your doubts, fears and lingering worries…
QQQ: I’m not creating a business, why should I join?
AAA: Jobs are great…if you have one (I’ve had more than 50!). They are also a ‘single point failure’ (geek speak from my Boeing days, sorry) in the best of times. Recently, 45 million people were locked out of work in a snap! Maybe you like putting your security in someone else’s hands though, I don’t judge.
Generating income outside your normal methods prepares you in the event you have NO OTHER alternatives.
You have more freedom & control! I remember when one income supported a whole family. Now two are generally required. Extrapolating that trend, how do you get a third one going when your time is already booked solid?
You create something else you can count on.
Ever hear of multiple streams of income? Or work once, get paid over and over again? It’s been done by everyone who ever wrote a book or a song or acted in TV or a movie for royalties and/or residual income.
You can do it too!
QQQ: I just wanted the free book! Why should I buy your membership?
AAA: Just like every other ‘free’ offer out there enticing you to try something, in this case, you get the book and you get to try the Everyday Spacer Membership, all at once, for about the price of ordering the book alone.
You CAN get the book all by itself. It’s $10 plus shipping. If you live in the continental USA, it’s $15 total. If you live somewhere else, we must calculate the shipping. The free book with the ES Membership comes out to be a similar deal…for more benefits, depending on how you join the Membership!
QQQ: I forget, what all does the Everyday Spacer Membership offer again?
AAA: Instant team! There are already several members and each person has a network so you never know who you can connect with. Stop working in a vacuum… until we get out into space. ;)
Tap into experience in the space exploration sector since 1991, business and marketing since 2003 & 2007 respectively and a process to get what you really want! I have connections going back a ways too.
Need a mastermind? An accountability partner? Just ask.
Always. Learning. Known resources, yours for the taking!
Current and future reports included as they are published.
You get what you want so you are happier, a team can mean more help therefore more time for you to spend with your family. Not every benefit will be easily quantifiable, those will be more satisfying.
Access to other people’s social circles, sometimes celebrities, etc.
Nothing changes you more than getting what you want.
There you have it… some of the things that could possibly be stopping you from investing in the Everyday Spacer Membership.

It’s All About Action!
Ever head a committee and the only person getting anything done was you? I remember one group where my 12 year old daughter did more than most of the committee members did to make our event happen! Of course, she was with me, so not exactly an option there.
I’ve monitored groups over the years and the average is 10% active, so if there were 100 members in the group, only about 10 of them ever did anything to advance the project or cause.
Some groups had more than 10% active members and some had much fewer. Your results may vary.
If you are working alone on something big, you could probably use some help!
Curious to know… What’ll make achieving your goal(s) easier and more enjoyable?

I’ve been getting what I want; by leveraging my passion for space exploration, science and astronomy; since 1991 and if I didn’t have a rinse-and-repeat system to help me get the results that I do, and do the work that I LOVE, I’d have lost my mind or my sanity, a long time ago.
Now I’m sharing the exact system that has helped me accomplish:
And More!
I started keeping track here…
http://spacer.pamhoffman.com/pam-hoffmans-accomplishments/
And here’s the BEST part… it’s available at the best price it will ever be, right now!
$1.99/month | 19.99/year | 19.99/FOR LIFE!
[there’s even an ‘in trade’ option, for a few people, if money is really THAT tight! ask me how]
There are no excuses for you to not get it NOW!
Here’s the link, go look and decide for yourself!

Stop working in a vacuum! (see what I did there, vacuum / SUCKS; not funny? OK ;)
I’ll be here if you have any questions or need any help and support,

Saw this solar telescope in action recently...
They don't show you the 'built in sun finder' - one of the coolest things about a telescope I've ever seen. You line up the dot in the finder and look through the scope and the sun is right there!
