Hey Guys,
I'm new to the forum. I'm an astronomer (college prof.), but also a botanist and a long term photographer. I've written a couple of books and countless articles on carnivorous plants--something of a specialty--but I'm fascinated by all plants. Right now I'm really jazzed by cacti, and am using them to learn more about focus-stacking.
I'm saving up my discretionary income to get a new microscope, one with the optical quality of a Zeiss Primo Star (that we have at my college campus), but that I can also attach my digital Pentax SLR to.
So, that's the skinny with me. I've already learned a lot by lurking at this forum, I expect to learn more now that I finally signed on.
Cheers
Barry
