Old newbie

[jrussell]

Howdy from Texas! Been skulking about here for a short time and finally decided to leave the shadows. I was really into astronomy as a kid but drifted away from it. Now I'm getting back into the hobby and looking forward to picking the hive mind here.

Hello there and welcome. I am new here myself and I also lurked on the forums (for months) before saying hi.

Welcome aboard SGL, and welcome back to astronomy. It's good to have you with us.

I spent 20 years away from astronomy but it's great to see your old friends back in the skies have been patiently waiting for you. Have fun.

A warm welcome to the SGL  Astronomy phenomena.
Your Avatar of a Ronchigram stirred some great memories for me.
You must have been a Newt. Mirror Creator yourself, or perhaps you are 
still manning the grinding post 😀.  It's a fascinating task, and a very rewarding one too.
I  need to keep this post from my good lady, who has disturming memories of me depositing
pitch fragments onto my pillows in bed, which had found their way into my hair when
trimming the lap squares became necessary.😅
Enjoy the company of fellow members here, they are a great bunch of folks 
of all nationalities.
Ron.
