Thanks all! Appreciate the warm welcome!

Just wanted to say "Hello" from the USA. I've browsed for a while on these forums but never participated till now. You all are very knowledgeable and have some fun conversations. I have similar experiences with the gang over at CloudyNights (am I allowed to mention them here? ), so I am looking forward to learning more from you all here at Stargazers Lounge.

Hello from the USA
in Welcome

Apparently I cant add a signature yet until I reach 5 posts so we will count this one towards that quota. Currently own a couple of modest scopes (equipment below) which work just fine for me. I'm quite content with the smaller scopes I have and am able to get them in and out the door with ease. Someday I wouldn't mind something with more aperture if my observing skills, location, habits and finances allowed it. Oh and the wife!
