Hello!
I thought I'd just introduce myself before I start posting.
I'm Adam and I'm from (How'd you guess) Melbourne. I'm 21 years of age.
On my 21st birthday I opened my girlfriend's present which happened to be the book 'Illustrated Encyclopedia Of The Universe' by Martin Rees. Along with a brand new Celestron 70AZ Telescope. She bought me these as she realized my interest in Astronomy.
So after some general planet observing and light reading here and there and my interest progressed, I decided to buy myself another telescope, this being a Sky Watcher 8" Dobsonian which I purchased from eBay so I could look at some more distant objects. (I'm lucky to live in a dark area!).
Which brings me here, I'd love to attend star parties and expand this new found hobby as I really love the glory of the unknown!
My other interests include, Music, Computing, Gaming, Traveling and Photography (I'll get a T mount soon!) and then there is other little phases that I often get over. Astronomy will never be one of them!
So please to meet you and I look forward to learning and discussing Astronomy with you.
Also, sorry in advance for a lot of 'noob' questions that I may ask in the future!
