Hi I'm Helen and :newbie: . I live in SA's Mid North and I've been lurking here for quite some time, joined in June and figured it was about time I started doing a little posting.

I've been interested in astronomy all my life, but have been really bitten since Astroman and Stargazer came up with some of their equipment for the Lunar Eclipse. :astron: Looking forward to further visits from the boys and learning lots, not only from them, but from other members here. :)

Cheers, Helen

Hi Helen, :welcome: to IceInSpace.

Thanks for saying g'day and introducing yourself.

What sort of equipment do you have? Did you catch the solar eclipse in 2002? Not sure how far Ceduna is from you.
