Interview: Interview with Jeanette Dunphy (jjjnettie)

[iceman]

Jeanette Dunphy is part of the furniture around here! Having been a member of IceInSpace for over 7 years, she's known by all and is always happy and always smiling. But let's dig a little deeper into the mind of jjjnettie!

Mike talks to Jeanette about her passion for astronomy and astrophotography, what it's like being a girl in a very male-dominated hobby, and how forums and social networks have changed the enjoyment of astronomy for the better!

I enjoyed reading the interview.
The comments on the "boys club", and how it is/was overcome, were enlightening.

jjjnettie's enthusiasm for Astronomy is clear and upon reading the interview I became even more inspired to get outside tonight (weather permitting).

Great article jjj and Mike! jjj you've certainly had a few coup's this year, keep the run going :)

I always find it interesting reading about the path people took getting involved into amateur astronomy.

[jjjnettie]

LOL ya reckon? I'm just a stay at home Mum who likes to take pretty pictures through a scope.
But I guess I didn't touch on one of my main driving forces behind my passion. And that was that after getting sick, I realised that there is no guarantees that there will be a tomorrow, so I'm getting out there and doing everything I can to be the best that I can, taking every opportunity that is offered to me.

:rofl: your like the shrek/onion theory:rofl: there is more on every layer - we should stack them and runthem through photoshop to see what we get.:thumbsup:

[strongmanmike]
