G'day all!
I just thought I would bounce something off the fine brainpower of the IIS community so here goes....
Ron (Tailwag) has been madly developing my site for me is adding in some new ideas of his and mine. The site just keeps getting better and better!
This is my idea. (Placed neatly in a box by Ron) I would like to try to network later and enlist the services of volunteers from all over, as the site and a few services develop. The idea is to give a "first time" helping hand to the new amateur astronomer or first scope purchaser. And get this.....for free......!!!
Have a look at the "Astro Services" page and let me know if anyone is interested in helping out the amateur community, outside of their clubs, (and I'm thinking "World wide") once in a while.
I think it's a very nice idea and I for one, would love to help others out, to a limited extent, and spur them on in the spirit of amateur astronomy. If anyone would like to lend a hand with this idea, I think you would find it very gratifying and most fulfilling, when you leave someone armed with a little more astro-ammo, and a big smile on their face, to get them started.
