I was the opposite.
Been 'into' astronomy on and off for years, but I only found IIS about 8 days ago.
I can't remember how I got here(!), but it was IIS that alerted me to comet McNaught's existance!
And just two days after finding IIS, I bought a 'scope off another member!
Have been meaning to get one for years. (I've got a polished but uncoated mirror here I started grinding about 4 years ago.... slack!)
Anyway, thanks to iceman for a great forum, to Rob McNaught for a great comet! and to anj026 for a great 1st 'scope!
LOL
