Whew Jen when you started talking about Bretts 20" with such enthusiasm I was wondering whether this was a family site or not.

Thanks Jen for adding some colour to a mostly male site

Check the left sidebar under IIS Astrocamp it open to everyone.

No need to gate crash and it's a great time. Unfortunately I've yet to get to one, maybe this year though.

Cheers

Yep, IceInSpace is like my second family. It is a great place to learn from many experienced members and also to have a bit of fun sometimes.

Its always fun to try and decipher the text within all the emoticons.

Thanks for being Jen, not the same without you here.

Glad to hear you got collimated properly, now if we could all just get together and teach Jen V E R Y S L O W L Y what the purpose of an EQ mount is, then she might stop "picking it up and turning it around" to point the scope in the direction of the object she wants to see

Agreed??

If you cannot make it to IISAC - or want to attend two camps this year - come to Snake Valley Camp, 28 Nov-2 Dec!

I have to agree with you Jen, they are the nicest people I've come across.
Of all the forums I belong to, this is by far the friendliest.

I second that JJJnettie, a lot of other forums have an overwhelmingly condescending feel where the people who've been there a while feel its their personal duty to belittle every new comer until they lose interest and stop visiting....

IIS in the 3 months I've been a member has quickly become my most viewed web site, theres always something to learn, laugh about or look at, and anytime you have a question, you can ask away without thinking "Everyones going to think im a moron..."

Great place!

THREE CHEERS FOR IIS!!!! W00000000000!!! W00000000000000000000!!!! W0000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000!!!!

Im done.
