Welcome to SGL Gary.

I've moved the thread into the Welcome section.

Steve..

Thanks Steve. I'm still learning my way around...and searching for a list of the various forums;-)

Hi there. We have an equipment section were people are always discussing the pro's and cons of various astro equipment. Certainly helps me choose.

Thanks Stu. I'm sure that's where I'll feel most at home.

Opening line to Sympathy for the devil. Stones.

...I thought I might have heard that somewhere. But alas, I'm not "a man of wealth and taste," nor, it would seem, all that quick on the uptake.

Thanks for the welcome Ronin...if not for the reminder that I'm older even than Stones;-)

Hello Gary and welcome!

Hi Gary and welcome from me to

[Gary Parkerson]

Nobbytate, Brendan of Borg, Ronin, John (glowjet), Janine (F64), SwadBaggie, Polydoros, John (Rusty Strings), James (JBM1165), Bizibilder, Doug, Kevin (BeyondVision), Tim (TJ), Mick (Doc), Ant, Chris (cgarry), JohnH, Celeste, Astro Baby, li'l John, Capricorn, Martin, Brantuk, Steve (Paxo), Bigstu, and CGolder,

Thank you all for the welcome. I live in an area of the U.S. Deep South that is especially devoid of fellow astronomy enthusiasts, so a warm welcome from so many others who actually share this affliction was unexpected and singularly appreciated here.

I'm still learning my way around your community, but am already enjoying my early visits immensely.

Thanks again.

I thought they were really cute in the context of giving a new twist to the concept of "CATSEYE Collimation".

I got a great chuckle out of them. Thanks.

bunnygod1? I hope there's a story behind that name - it's sure to be a great one.

And thank you Joanne. I'm new here, but have been heavily involved in the equipment side of astronomy for some time. This community has already proven welcoming, generous and, as you say, informative. I'm learning quite a lot and thoroughly enjoying my time here.

Thanks again.
