Like many, I was "into" Astronomy as a boy (especially High School where I helped run my school's planetarium) but drifted away during university (having found beer and other diversions) and early working life (lack of money)...
I've always been interested in space and space science since watching the Apollo program as a child...and have always read everything I could on the subject...just not much chance for any "hands on" (eyes on) stuff
A couple of years back I got the opportunity to be "hands on" again (having a bit of time and a lot more money) and that brings us to now...but I am still trying to get used to looking at the "Southern Sky"...now I have more and better equipment than actual experience or knowledge but it is still fun anyway!
