Hi Russ,
And Welcome to a true Losmandy group.
I think I saw you on Cloudy terms of service forum. But this is the real deal!
Sounds like you've got a lifetime of fun and looking up to share.
I'm only entering my 6th year of being serious about this. I like taking pictures of Nebula.
I blame The Great Orion Nebula for hooking me into this madness.
Most of my friends were doing planetary, or star clusters. But me? I wanted to go Deep Space.
I'm hoping to go after the Pink Pillow/Magic Carpet Nebula very soon. ()
I always like a challenge. And boy howdy! Does this sport offer it!
