Hello all, I've been a member for a while but have been a bit silent recently (joined during the big McNaught excitement) - mainly because of work, life etc...
But I wanted to say I really enjoy IceinSpace. I am in Cape Town, South Africa and since we share the same skies, it is great to follow the discussions here.
I have the highest admiration for the very active amateur astronomical communities in Aus and NZ. If any of you would like to talk about getting in touch with South African amateur astronomers or clubs for whatever reason, or any other topic of mutual interest, please shout! I'm quite active in our own local society and national body.
Anway, just thought I'd say hi from across the Pacific
