Back again and this time I'm staying

[Roy Hollister]

Hello stargazers Lounge,

I've been away from astronomy for a number of years but now I'm back I'm very excited with the views I've been getting Jupiter through my 12 inch dobsonian.

I now have  4 daughters to teach astronomy, and they all get very excited if the sky is clear.

Interests are deep dark objects mostly, I like a challenge and the planets and Moon of course.  I've been amazed with the amount of detail that I see around Jupiter's big red spot, and great fun searching for elusive craters on the Moon.

Clear skies

Hi Roy and welcome back to astronomy - it's difficult to keep away from the stars!

Clear skies and hope you enjoy the forum.

Welcome back. Please enjoy the hobby with your children. I'm sure they will appreciate it, especially if you don't push them, but give them opportunities.
