Hello Everyone

Hello everyone.

I've finally decided to do something serious about astronomy, after fiddling around the edges for about 20 years.

Figuring I might run into some difficulties along the way, I thought it might be nice to seek out some friendly people who might be able to answer any questions that may arise.

After I headed over to sci.astro.amateur and discovered how much spam was there I thought there must be some web based forums that are better moderated. So here I am and I've already picked up on DSS which is the sort of program I was looking for.

I haven't got past DSLR on tripod yet, as per the recent AS&T article, but I do have red acetate film over my netbook screen, so that's as sophisticated as it gets just yet. I have a nice dark sky location and it would be inexcusable to not put it to good use.

Tim.
