Hi Faith
and a warm welcome to our forum.
I've just been reading your bio from your website via facebook (because I'm nosey
) and your visual observing background is impressive! I am not at all surprised you are getting an 18" scope!
. Crikey!
(Liz already used Blimey so I had to come up with something else
). Why... you could nearly use my scope (which I thought was a 10" monster of a scope in its own right), as a cute little finder on your new scope now couldn't you..?!.
And I also saw on your bio, a photo of you and Stephen James O'Meara
, I am such a big fan of his, oh how I dream to meet him one day.
I"m guessing you met him at the Texas Star Party? Lucky gal!
And I second what Jeanette said- it's great to have another female astro chick on here, there are indeed too few of us.
Hmmm there is an unusually high usage of emoticons on my post here (yes, I do admit it for once
) so I hope I haven't given you emoticon eye strain.
I couldn't help it, that last one just belonged, just like this one
.
