Hi everyone. Astronomy has been my hobby for many, many years. I'm currently working and living in China (as an English teacher (for 10 years, now)). I have run the gamut of equipment from a home-made 6" dob to a C-8 to my current scope, a 6" Mak on an LXD-75 GOTO GE mount, which I purchased from the same manufacturer that makes most of Meade's equipment. Lucked out there, cuz I get Meade products at wholesale prices LOL.

I currently have 2 scopes: a 90mm Meade RA Mak (bought in Canada), and the 6" Maksutov that I mentioned above. Haven't had the Mak out too much because of the light pollution and my limited viewing (I have a small southern exposure, plus I have to do most of my observing through an open window).

Looking forward to making new friends from Australia, and, of course, New Zealand. I'd love to get down there some day and observe the southern skies.
