Hello from Ottawa, Canada
Hi folks.
I'm really excited to see such an informative and active place to discuss this amazing hobby!
I've been interested in astronomy for quite a while, have done a little bit off and on since childhood. The most equipment I've ever used was a pair of binoculars or my alt-az mounted 4" reflector that I got in Junior High.
At the age of 31 I've now decided to spend a little bit more time doing some astronomy, and will be venturing in to astrophotography.
A few other complimentary hobbies I have are amateur radio(have spoken with ISS) and photography. I'm also a software developer and semi-pro musician in the Ottawa area.
I look forward to chatting with everyone!
Thanks,
Brent

Re: Hello from Ottawa, Canada
Hi Charles. We are just a few miles apart. I actually grew up on the Quebec side, in rural Aylmer. It's were I tend to go (back to the farm) to do some viewing just outside of the city.
