Hi

I'm a lapsed stargazer having first got interested in the stars, space etc during the sixties and the manned lunar missions. I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks so thought I'd sign up and introduce myself.

I watched the ISS pass over last night at around 7pm and was amazed by how bright it was - presumably because it was docked with the space shuttle? This motivated me to get out the 12" Revelation dob which has been gathering dust in the garage for the last 3 years or so and have a quick scan of the skies trying to remember where those DSOs I used to look at were. Managed to find the obvious (M42) and a few others in a haphazzard way.

Anyway, off now to get the worst of the gunge of the scope and looking forward to clear skies tonight and a more organised session

Cheers

Alan
