Hi Ken, Houghy and Kearn

Wow, my own thread so to speak!! Thanks for making me feel so welcome!

How did I hear about the website, well in hindsite I saw it in AS&T but I didn't visit here because of that. I think either I was either googling for telescope or astronomy sites in Oz, or someone mentioned it in CN (which I discovered before iceinspace), I'm not sure, as the past week or so I've visited a plethora of astronomy websites, alternatively I might have got to here via another website.

I was just reading aobut the star camp, thanks for informing me, alas its timing isn't very good for me, its at the start of the exam period at uni (where I study physics and engineering, though my interest in Astronomy didn't stem from physics, rather the other way around, I've just waited WAY too long before getting a telescope). So yeah, I'll probably be hitting the books hard during that time as I tend to cram for the exams lol.

So sorry Ken, I don't think I'll be attending Star Camp

-Justin

That's OK Justin! We'll have a look at the Heavens for you

I'm not really suffering bad press at the hands of Houghy. It's downright Character Assassination!

Question

Hi jC_7, Don't worry too much about the riff-raff. The majority of us are quite sane. Just ask Ving or Tony. They both have papers to prove they're sane enough to be let out @ night.......
Not quite sure about Ken yet......????? L.
