I've been semi-interested in astronomy for years but the bug really bit only about 3 years ago when I was shown how much can be done in astro-imaging (thanks Paul 1ponders). IceInSpace has been invaluable as a resource for learning more about setting up a scope and especially the tricky part of processing images.
As a High School science teacher it has helped inspire me as to what can be done. Some websites have good information but I think that the forum is the best in that anyone (myself and my students) can post questions and get great advice and a healthy discussion in return.
Oh, nearly forgot to mention the fact that it is also a great place to meet people with the same interest (as opposed to some family members and work colleagues who seem to be really hard to impress - how can you not be excited about the remnants of an exploding star or a far away galaxy?).
Cheers IceInSpace.
