Hi Frank. This is a very informative site. Although I enjoy everything from meteor showers to the fine DSO images on the forum here, my first love is lunar/planetary astronomy. Here is another excellent site on this topic here, at:
https://alpo-astronomy.org/
And as you can see below, I have been a member of ALPO for a long time:
