I am recently retired and have been actively observing for the past ten years. Started with a 150 mm reflector on a EQ2, upgraded to a 300mm (12") collapsible Skywatcher Dob and recently added a 127mm ED refractor on a NEQ6 mount to the collection.
I normally observe from suburban Melbourne in Australia, but have been to a couple of dark sky sites and star parties.
I've always had an interest in astronomy, but only really started it as a hobby when my wife and daughters bought me my first telescope about 10 years ago.
Looking forward to increasing my knowledge and interesting conversations
