TheSkySearchers

Hi all, happy to have found you during yet another meh night of viewing. Looking forward to following your experiences as I continue my own astro-adventure in Nova Scotia. I'm relatively new to the hobby (@18 months) and I'm having an absolute blast. My main interest is visual as I'm far too undisciplined to pursue astrophotography, although I am dabbling with EAA with limited success. Most of the time I'm just content to get out on a clear night and point a scope up to see what it can show me . . . it never ceases to amaze. Cheers!

Hi Skysurfer and welcome to TSS from a fellow Canuck

I hear you on the skies; hopefully it gets better!

Glad to have you on board and best of luck in your endeavours!

Hi, @SkySurfer . Welcome to the forum from another Nova Scotian.

I hope you are familiar with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and their Halifax centre, one of the most active in the country. I am currently serving on the Board and on the organizing committee for Nova East, the centre's annual star party.

Hi Skysufer and welcome to TSS!

It’s great to have you!

Hello SkySurfer and welcome to the Forum.

Wow, thanks all for this warm welcome. I wasn't expecting this.
To KathyNS: I joined the RASC Halifax Centre shortly after purchasing our first scope - 8" dob. Haven't done much with the community yet, but did make it out to St Croix last fall. Great facility although a bit of a hike from my usual viewing location on the south shore. Not sure re: Nova East yet . . . still working out summer plans. Will definitely be making a new moon pilgrimage to Keji at some point though, possibly for the RASC party there in August
