Hi , my name is Brian and I've been a member here a while.

I must say what a gold mine of information this site is , I have spent days just cruzin from 1 topic to another , simlpy awsome .

As from my topic title , I am living in Darwin Australia and its s great place to live . The only problem is the seasons we get here at 12 degrees south are ,, the WET and the DRY ,,, thats it , only 2 .

The wet runs for 6 months november thru april and as the name suggests it is very wet , cyclones , and monsoonal down pours . Not much stargazing to be had .

But the dry is another thing all together , 6 months of ground hog days week after week of perfect 32 degree days and 24 degree nights , beautiful .

The dry has started so its scope out every night , glorious .

I own 6 refractors from a 60mm TAK FS60C thru to a 127mm triplet .

I also have 2 pairs of binos 8x56 and 25x100 , both mounted , the 100mm binos are awsome .

I will post a few photos if I can .

Glad to be here , and I will try and be involved with you all .

Here is my TAK FS60C together with mt Zeiss Telementor 63mm , my TV Pronto and mt LP 90mm f/5 APO .

I cant fit any more photos on this thread , so more to follow .

Enyoy.

Brian.

Thanks everyone, I like this place , we have something very similar here in australia , its called ' Ice in Space' the asutralian amateure astronomers web page .

Its a very good place with lots of awsome people and I enjoy contributing there a lot , as I will here .

To you all dont be afraid to check us out , and maybe join .

We dont have as many people , 10000 I think but its typically astronomy people , very close and helpful with tonnes of knowledge , like I have seen here with you guys and gals , so thanks again for the welcome and , Oh yes John definatly a " Refractor Man " .

Just one thing , how do I post a photo onto a reply , like this one ?
