Hello Dave, I wish I could get more gals involved in this hobby, especially at a young age. One day I would love to teach astronomy as well. Start them young and they'll be hooked for life! It's good to hear women getting themselves enrolled in these courses and I hope one day soon, I'll start studying astronomy too but must save up the $$$. Hey, I'm always happy to voice my opinions, especially when it comes to Australia's one and only astronomy mag. Maybe it would be a good article idea, a discussion on women astronomers. I recall there was one article a while back about women who have made a significant contribution to astronomy during a time when they were not allowed to work in science at all. I found it fascinating that they were still able to contribute even though they were merely data entry operators or "calculators" as some called them. I'm not sure what this article should be about but I'm sure you guys can think of something great to say about us
Hey Stuart, I would have had an orion 80mm ed this year (as I have mentioned elsewhere in this forum) but I got too greedy and bought all these other things instead. Only afterwards did Le tell me he was going to buy one for me
That'll teach me for browsing astromart too much!!
So I'll have to wait until my birthday next year mate! Darn it
