Hey Welcome Jon.

I too have just retired and are rediscovering this amazing hobby...Such a lot to learn but this is the place to ask questions...lots of great friendly knowledgable people.

Hope you have many clear skies Jon and good luck with your projects...totally jealous of your proposed observatory on your ranch!

Hi welcome to SGL from Peter in Bedfordshire ?

Welcome to SGL Jon.

Sounds like quite a career and an interesting knowledge base to share . Good luck with the scopes and perhaps post the results as you go along.

Aerospace propulsion? Does that mean you designed the elastic bands that they use to wind the propellers up? ?

only kidding, welcome nice to meet you!
