Hi everyone. After 8 long years away from the hobby, and this awesome site, I've decided it's time to rekindle my love for astronomy. Back then, after the death of my wife, my dad told me not to make any decisions that I might regret. Unfortunately, I didn't heed his advice, and I went ahead and sold all my astro gear. I didn't have a massive amount of stuff, but it was enough to get a lot of enjoyment out of something that has fascinated me since I was a little kid.
So now I need to start again. I've posted a wanted ad for a dob - I'll make that my restarting point and go from there. I'm looking forward to spending nights out under the stars again in my own piece of dark sky in the Adelaide Hills. Maybe not too much in winter.
Welcome back Stewart. Things will always happen in their own time and when the time is right. I’m sure that you will have many enjoyable hours of astronomy fun now that you are back in the saddle
