Yes mate. I would dearly love to catch up with.....well ANY other fellow astronomer would be nice!? The distance won't stop me, but the money..or the lack of it does at this stage. (not to mention being on call for a permanent residency visa which is nearly over) You guys in Adelaide have it made in this area...it would'nt take much effort at all to get together once every now & then.
Perhaps I will drive the 650 klicks to get to Adelaide one day soon just to show if you really want to do something it can be done. (no offence anyone)
I actually have a similar problem over here to a point. The only other serious astronomer over here (16" meade SCT & several others in a nice observatory) To put it bluntly, he does not want to have anything much to do with me because we have different religious beliefs!! (I have no beliefs) I find that quite 'insulting' for want of a better term. But he can plod along & observe all by himself if that's what he wants to do, that's fine by me.
