Dear All
I am new here but have been interested in Astronomy for about 10 years. I moved to Moree from Newcastle about then and was dazzled by the beautiful dark skies. I decided to buy a scope and bought an ETX90. I then wanted to learn more so enrolled in the Master in Astronomy(AIM) that was being offered at UWS. This gave me lots of exposure to the more professional side of astronomy. I learnt how to reduce data from the ATCA and helped produce a paper published in MNRAS. Since then I have bought a vixen VC200L and built a Genesis CCD and have taken quite a few pretty photos.
My interest has waxed and waned with work commitments since then. I have recently moved to Armidale and joined the local astronomical society (UNENTAS). This has given me my first contact with other amateur astronomers and I encourage others to do the same.
