Hi from WA

Just wanted to introduce myself. Thought it was about time as I've been a member for a little while. Been a viewer for a bit longer. I wouldn't say I'm a beginner but I'm not that experienced either. I've been interested in astronomy since I was about 10, when Halley's Comet came around. In my teenage years I lived about 2hrs north of Perth where we had the most beautiful clear, dark skies. I had a good pair of 10 x 50 binoculars (used to view Halley's comet), and a crap little department store refractor. I now live in the outer northern suburbs of Perth and have had a 10" Skywatcher Dob for the past ten years. A couple of months ago I splashed out in a big way and bought a CPC 1100 GPS XLT. This site is where I did much of my research. And of course since then it's been cloudy nearly every weekend. Sorry guys and girls. Well I don't want to ramble more than I have. I look forward to being part of the community, asking questions, and maybe even passing on some of my limited knowledge.
