QUESTION:
Do you look at stars every night. Do you find
anything interesting or different in the sky.

ANSWER from Wayne Baggett on June 1, 1996:
Very few astronomers look at the stars every night as part of their jobs.
Most astronomers only use telescopes a few night each year, and they spend
the rest of the time analyzing the data they have and writing papers about
their results.  The people who watch the stars the most are actually the
AMATEUR astronomers, people who have jobs unrelated to astronomy but who love
the stars.  Now, many professional astronomers (like me) also observe as
"amateurs" for fun, because the night sky is such a beautiful thing.
