The name's Jeremy and like the title currently reside on the Central Coast, specifically Berkeley Vale.
By day I'm an IT geek, by night I'm still an IT geek but with side hobby's in Photography, Marital Arts, and of course Astronomy.
The Bintel Dob that I bought is my first telescope that I've ever owned and the recent Lunar eclipse was my first use of it and have to say enjoyed every hour of it. 
Looking forward to taking an active part in this community.
Thanks.

Hi Jeremy,
Welcome to IIS from WA. I hope you get much enjoyment from your 10" as I did from my 1st 8", oh so long ago. It takes me back, as my first image was of the Moon too, so well done, nice image. Back in those days we had to use film and didn't have such a nice place to show them off.
And, no more lurking in the shadows, it's not allowed now that you have finally joined us
Cheers Peter
