Greetings fellow earthings...
Hey Hey guys,
Just signed up to iceinspace- just thought I'd say hi. The forums look gr8. Hope to become a regular user. I've got an LX90 Meade telescope- an absolutley amazing scope (well I think it is). I became interested in Astronomy when my dad bought a small newtonian reflector. A pretty basic scope, but had fantastic optics. Unfortunately, I dont think I have been practising the hobby enough- which is a shame. But I'm determined to spark that interest again.
cheers

Hi Tux, how did you hear about us?
Where abouts in Sydney are you?
You should:
a) Enter the xmas quiz
b) Book for the IceInSpace AstroCamp and have a great time with other IIS'ers.
Tuxedo (tux) is our middleware platform at work

Hi Tux  
LX90 sounds good to me 
A few of the guys here are a little cracked and a few of us are a little stir crazy with the lack of clear sky at the moment,  
but we all love astronomy and just love to talk about it. Some of us tend to over use smileys. 
I look forward to your contributions
Cheers

Welcome Tux,
Nice scope dude and I hope you get stuck into this awesome hobby, but be careful it's even more addictive than you think.
