May I introduce ....

[FLO]

... Astroman.

Most of us already know Astroman but he has been away for a while so I think a re-post of his original introduction will be helpful.   

Good to have you back Astroman

Hello everyone. 

I happen to have my own observatory in SW Arizona called Stone Haven.  I do variable star research, along with a lot of public outreach as well as some stuff for NASA and the GCN... 

I've been interested in astronomy since I was a kid, spending summers in Ontario and wondering at the brilliance of the skies there in the '60's.  I finally got the chance to really start studying the night sky in the early '90's when I moved out to the sticks south of Phoenix.  Rampant curiosity drove me and here I am today.

I enjoy the physics as well as the aesthetics of stargazing.  Some accuse me of being a bit droll when I speak of black holes and whether they spin or not, but I try to dress it up enough to teach something without putting people to sleep.  Sometimes I even succeed...

Hiya, Warthog. I believe I've seen you on ADP, no?

[The Warthog]

Nope. ODS. Hi again!

[Astroman]

ODS...ODS...Doesn't ring a bell, but thereis a fella named Warthog on ADP. Perhaps you have grounds for a copyright lawsuit? :clouds2:

Anyway, Well met, indeed. Nice to see someone else on the same continent, at least.

[The Warthog]

My mistake! <blush> It was ADP. I like this forum because they tend to get my bad jokes. Good to see you, too!
