Dannae Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Finally got the courage to say hello properly Nice to lurk, read and post with all the wonderful people on here since April so thought it high time to introduce myself.Astronomy and space nut for a long time now and gone through the huge range of emotions and kit that this hobby can lure you into. Was a long time poster and mod of another 'astro imaging' forum many years ago which introduced me to forums and online things in general but am really a visual guy at heart. Helped with and organised star parties but usually I am a self-exiled solo observer due to shyness (confident and open enough to say it though). Owned many large telescopes including the 20" f/5 Obsession in my profile pic (yes I am small compared to most things), OMC 200 f/20, TMB/APM/AP and Televue refractors as well as way too many eyepieces and fluff.Currently grab and 'go-ing' with a TV-76 and Sphinx whilst waiting for a 14" f/5 reflector 'Dobson Factory' to be built for me hopefully by the end of next year; it's been too long without a dobsonian Finished the NGC catalog a few years ago having travelled a lot (I like polar regions as amazing holiday destinations) and love to look at open and colourful clusters/asterisms.Nice to meet you all RegardsDannae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
