There are many a professional astronomer who haven't looked through a telescope since school!!! Or know their constellations. Heck, I don't even know them all. That's the downside of specialization - the mind focuses so narrowly on a specific subset of a subject that they forget the fundamentals of any of the rest of it.

As for my astronomy knowledge, I am not a master of anything but know a little about most all of it.
