Hi Jeremy, nice of you to finally stop lurking and start posting
Rod's right - our interests are very very similar, and the 10" dob was my first scope too.
I've actually met Jeremy once, through our mutual friend Michael Little, who I used to work with, and who is also into photography and martial arts (but not astronomy).
Jeremy, Michael and I were on this morning photo shoot at Forresters Beach:

Which reminds me Jeremy, we need to organise that next shoot!
