Hello everybody,
I am not exactly new to the forum, but am a very old member. I used to be called prasadka, and used to live in Ipswich, England until 2010, after which personal commitments forced me to give up my hobby temporarily. To cut a long story short, sixy years, 3 kids, two countries and several homes later, I find myself in Frisco, TX (part of DFW). I still have a APO refractor intact, and my enthusiasm unchanged. This is where it all began for me as an amateur astronomer, and a few friendly folks from the forum helped me get set up with my initial astro gear (most of which I sold when I moved out of England). I still fondly recollect the East Anglian meet ups, where I have had a few star gazing sessions, and the few nights spent stargazing with Chrls (If I remember his name - from Ipswich).
Anyway, I am looking for rekindling my interest and I can think of no better place, than where it all began.
So just wanted to stop by and say, in true southern style hello y'all.
Many Thanks
Ex Suffolker.
