Since I just joined myself, I'd like to say hello also. This forum has been an excellent resource for me already, and I greatly appreciate the effort put into the information and images posted here.

I'm an amateur astronomer and spend much of my time sketching what I see through the eyepiece to help train my eye to detect subtle details, and to keep a record of my observations. But I also try my hand at astro-photography from time to time.

I recently came into possession of a Reichert One-Sixty microscope from the surplus warehouse at the local university. It's re-kindled an interest in something I haven't had the tools to investigate since I was in high school. I'm really excited by what I've seen already. It's going to be a wild new learning curve I can tell. My initial reaction after struggling to identify my first cloudy drop of living organisms is that it's a skill that's definitely going to require a lot of study and effort. Learning the morphology of astronomical objects has been a very rewarding process, so I'm sure this will be too.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and outstanding photography. I look forward to learning from it, and hopefully giving back at some point in the future.
