Hello from the Antipodes

[Lorstin]

I first became interested in watching the sky when my dad took me for a walk one night (not far from Leicester) to watch Sputnik II go over.

Now I live on the other side of the planet and still enjoy watching the sky. Fortunately it's a dark sky site, although trees limit my view. I have a 4" refractor with equitorial mount and a 12" collapsible dob, several binocs and the little hand held scope dad bought me when I was 8yo.
