There are some great Astronomy links and some 'Blah, blah' of mine and I'll be adding more soon - more links, pictures, etc. and some more Gordon Lightfoot 'stuff' for those who enjoy the premiere Troubadour of our time!

Just to get started, here's a little about me and how I got into this wonderful 'hobby'.

I've been interested in astronomy since I was a little kid - many thanks to my parents. When I was about 9, I got a 3" reflector for Christmas. Was fun to see the moon and the optics weren't all that bad for a 'Christmas' scope.

While maintaining my interest over the years, it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I bought no fewer than TWO 'junk scopes'! Hey, the store was going out of business (no wonder!) and I paid about $100 for both. PLEASE, ANY NEW FOLKS, DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE!!! Well, they were enough to get me really interested in buying a GOOD 'scope -- so I guess they served some valuable purpose.

So... in November 1998, after devouring catalogs and searching web sites and lurking on the sci.astro.amateur newsgroup, I decided on my FIRST SCOPE:

an Orion SkyView Deluxe 6" Newtonian

And the rest is future history.

Well, that's all I have time for now -- gotta work to support my addiction!

Please visit again soon - I'm adding more all the time.

Thank you.

In the meantime, e-mail me, StarJunkie, with comments, suggestions, etc
