Here is one a bit more recent as well.

[Mliss]

:lol: i've had so many laughs on this site today.

totally brilliant Peter! i don't know if you're a 'Black Books' fan, but that reminded me of Bill Bailey!

Brian (below) did the same think with his daughter. i think it's gorgeous.

Love that 3rd pic too. lovely shot of you and your little girl :)

[Poita]

Ouch!

Now I feel like this:

[Poita]

We had finished swimming for the day, set the camera to timer and ran out in front of it. It took three goes, the first shot we conked heads trying to get into position. We are a clumsy folk.

[Mliss]

aw :lol: i meant that in the best way possible.

I love Bill Bailey to bits!

Love that link :thumbsup: he's genius!!

I'd give my left pigtail to be half as brilliant as he is.

HI all, and a Merry Christmas season from NZ. I don't post here often -don't even have an avatar - but I do lurk a fair bit in the background. Anyway, this is one of the kiwi faces to put a name to.

If you've watched the tv series Ashes to Ashes you'll "get" this picture...if not, well I don't normally frown like this, I'm usually smiling a lot more!

Have a great festive season, and I hope the goodies roll in for you, or rather get carried in, if it happens to be a new scope that Mr Clause is bringing you!

Be well, and regards,

Finite

[Gem]

The day my beloved scope arrived earlier this year... :)

[bartman]

Love the old school Audi Quattro John!

Cheers Bart, great car though not many people know what they are...just an old Audi rumbling down the road to most;)

[stardust steve]

Hi everyone. I have been a member since 25-09-2010 and never really visited the sight much untill Dec 2011. Now i am on everday. In these last few weeks i have learnt more about Astronomy and Astrophotograrhy than ever. I have always had a strong interest in the Universe and this site has magnified that interest.:jawdrop:
Anyway this is me:)

[Suzy]

Hi Trevor, I love that pic of you and the dog, he looks so adorable. And they look so spoiled judging from your avitar too.:lol: Ever since The Bionic Woman got Max I've wanted a German Shepherd. :D My distinction between reality and fantasy may get a bit blurred tho so that's probably why I don't have one yet :question: They can't reeeally stop a car with their teeth now can they :question:
Did I just say that publicly...:question:

Grant, great to finally put a face to all our on-line conversations. ;) And I love your scope, it's a beauty! :D

John, I don't know the show, but you look like you're about to take me away to a cold grey cell. :lol: Might be worth 5 mins inside said cell for a ride in that car though...:question: Not many cars go purrrrrrr these days now do they.:shrug: I bet that car does. :D
Stop lurking so much and join us more. ;)

Steve, this site has a tendency to become rather addictive. First the addiction hits, then the aperture fever strikes. :help: Then we spend the rest of our time earning brownie points from our partners.:P

It's been really great to see so many of you posting pics, thank you for sharing. :thumbsup:

[Nico13]

Hi all,
Well been around here for about a couple of years or so now.
Got interested in the stars when at the end of my grade six year 1965 we were given a free choice of a project to fill in the last week of school.
I chose to do a project on the Solar System.

Been looking at the stars ever since but always with other peoples telescopes, my wife expressed interest a couple of years back and the rest is history. I don't need an excuse to buy gear now it's pre sanctioned.
A lot may know my nephew ALEXN who had been around here for some time doing some nice work, I did here he may get back into this stuff again.

Here's a couple of shots of me and the wife Carol, the daughter and grand kids and my little mate Casper who helps me with things.

(Pass me a screw driver and I'll have this fixed in a jiffy)

Nico.

[bartman]

Great shots Nico!
Very sharp too!
I'm loving Casper's help!
Cheers
Bartman

[Nico13]

Thanks Bart,:D
Yeh my little mate Casper is always there when I need him and you get unconditional friendship from him. :thumbsup:

Nico.

[bartman]

So True!
Bartman

[Finite]

Hi Suzy, I can recommend one and not the other...:thumbsup::lol:

[barx1963]

Hey Nico. Nice shots, good to know there are other IISers in this part of the world. We have 4 little mates (Charlotte the Harlot, Sylvester, Marilyn and Snowball) but cannot say the freindship is inconditional, definitely food dependant!;)

Here's me with my 2nd daughter and wife. I'm purchasing stuff ATM but will likely be asking many more questions on this forum.

Kudos to the organisers, hosters, admins and participants as without this interaction and knowledge I wouldn't be starting my journey.

[Varangian]

Hi all,

been around for a good 6 months now and have been getting out to ASV's dark site a bit so thought I would post up a head shot to encourage people to come and say hello if they see me.

And thanks for all the great advice and strategic guidance I've received on all my astro acquisitions so far.

This is me at the Cathedrals near Taggerty, Victoria prior to the ascent. Clear skies.

[TechnoViking]

Hi All, I have been hanging around the forums for around a year, I have loved looking at the stars since my parents bought me a small cheap tasco telescope for my 8th birthday back in 1985. I am married with 3 children, sebastian who is 6, Nicole who is 8 and isaac who is 12, i have been married to my wife for 13 years, I started dating her when i was 17 years old.

I live 12kms from the little sleepy town of cobargo, on a 100 acre property.

I cant think of anything more relaxing than watching the stars with a hot cup of coffee and Vangelis playing in the back ground.


Here is a pic of me and my daughter (who is bunny earring me)

[H.Treur]

Hello to all,

I am new to his forum. My name is Harro (44) and I live down under (as seen from your perspective), in the Netherlands.
Like the most of you I also have a livelong attraction to the starry skies. Furthermore I can get very enthousiastic about building telescopes from surplus materials. Starting with LEGO and carton-rolls in the seventies, but using steel, aluminum and pyrex nowadays.
My pride and joy is a lightweight 16 inch Dobson with an integrated Poncet-platform.
Recently, I also coöperated in the development of the iphone-app Darkskymeter.
In the past I have been quite active at the Dutch Astroforum.nl.

My first contact with Ice in Space was 6 years ago: when looking for inspiration for Dobson-projects, I stumbled upon the wonderful minimalistic telescopes of your forum-member Alan Scott.

The reason I have registered for the Australian Ice in Space-forum is the following:
My sister is living in the hills west of Brisbane. We are planning to visit her in 2015 (We=my wife and two kids).
This will be my first visit to the southern hemisphere, so I will be confronted with new and unexplored views of the heavens. I hope this forum can act as a starting guide in this.
Maybe there will be possibilities to visit some Australian starparties. Or maybe explore the possibilities to borrow a telescope.
Anyway: I would like to arrive a kind of prepared for some astronomical adventures in the summer (your winter!) of 2015.

Best regards

Harro Treur

[brian nordstrom]

:) Hi Harro and :welcome: to IIS , look forward to hearing your adventures from the north , nice looking scope by the way .
Brian.

[Doogs38]

A pic? Why not :D My fave toy :)

[Suzy]

And what a great toy you have there Alex :D.
Nice pic of the two of you, thanks for sharing.

Must be time for an updated pic - the beard is getting greyer :sadeyes:

Hiking a trail in Northern Israel on a lovely winter's day - yes it's a selfie :lol:

Then my first astronomy expedition with an invited group of work colleagues - high up above the Jordan Valley - in Spring :thumbsup:

[Jen]

:thumbsup: hey Erick it's great to see you are doing well over there :thumbsup:

[N1]

Harro, great scope.

The Dutch Bike Dob :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:. Mavic, Alesa or SUNrims? :P

[RB]

Great to hear from you Eric.
Nice pics, were you hiking up near Mt Hermon?
Good to see your first astro expo, would've been lovely there above the Jordan Valley in Spring !
Stay safe mate.

RB

[erick]

Just a day's fairly gentle walk through the Western Galilee area, Andrew. Nothing too strenuous :D

The night astro expedition was very hazy. At least some haze is pretty standard here nearly every day of the year. I've seen about three clear days in the last 11 months Sometimes visibility down to under a km. :sadeyes: Also, although it was about the darkest location in Northern Israel based on the light pollution map, I could see the distant lights of around 200,000 houses, shops etc. all around.

[RB]

Beautiful area The Galilee !
Yes I can imagine it's near impossible to find dark skies there and I remember the haze.

Thanks for the update and keep us posted (with photos too).

RB

[Songbird]

Just saw this post a pic section so thought I'd get in board.
I'm a 29 year old truck from the Mornington peninsula Victoria. Probly would not look like someone who spends their free time and weekend nights staring through an eyepiece but I'm sure amateur astronomers come in all shapes and sizes. Maybe this pic will give you guys who've helped me out an idea of who you've helped haha

[Jemmo]

And one of me and the Mrs of 12 years

[creeksky]

Great pics Jemmo! All that effort for a scope and you have Miss Universe?
Must have stars in your eyes;)

[Jemmo]

Hahaha thank you Pete. Yep she's a rippa!

[xelasnave]

Mine is red.
They are a great thing.
Alex

[JeniSkunk]

Absolutely.
I'd be in trouble without mine. Problems with my knees and ankles.
The good thing about mine, is that it's large enough to transport both my telescope and the chair I use as a stand for it. So anywhere I can get to and from, using public transport, is accessible for me to take my telescope to for astronomy.
It's also is used as my shopping trolley, since there's no way to also push a shopping trolley when you have to use a wheelie walker.

[xelasnave]

I built a motorised one with a platform upon which to stand.
I have not finished it which is a pity its only a couple of hours away from completion.
Alex

[JeniSkunk]

Why does this put me in mind of Victor Frankenstein creating a cross between a shopping trolley and a Segway ?

[xelasnave]

I call it a poor mans segway☺
However its a great idea...I may have to build two small gear boxes I just remembered...That is why I am mentally putting it off I think.

Sorry, I was time travelling, and contrary to popular opinion, stopping right on target is difficult.

I guess 2013 ;)

Me recently on ZWO's page (https://www.zwoastro.com/2024/02/29/astrophotographers-story-nik-nax/) after receiving image of the week

Congrats Nik on the ZWO award and you don’t look a day over 40 mate
The only award I’ve ever received was from Bintel back in 2019 , image of the month , NGC 253 Sculptor Galaxy shot with my old Canon 600D and 6” Newt.
I’m not really into awards , competitions etc… but my wife said why not , give it a go , I received a $50 store credit. Don’t know if Bintel are still running these awards ?

Cheers
