Hello again all ,
I should have done this sooner. My name is Scott aka Noobwatcher. My wife Mary and I live in Lindenhurst, IL with our two Boxers, and one kitty. Our daugther lives in Madison WI, recently graduated college and is getting married this summer. I have been in the field of design and constuction of custom machinery (automation) for many years. I currently own a small company (since 2000) with a partner in Antioch, IL (www.tzgroup.com). My family greatly enjoys the outdoors and have camped and tented in many places in the USA. We recently traded our 30' Wilderness camper in on a new 34' Coachman with 2 slide outs ( we don't rough it any more ;D ). Camping is our primary hobby mostly weekends with 1-2 long trips each year. We both enjoy reading extensively. Mary works also and enjoys several crafts in her free time. I play several online games ( Dark Age of Camelot, Planet Side, Half Life ) but I have been lookin for a new hobby. I have a great love of fishing and a little hunting but find it hard to get out as much as I would like. Working alot has a tendency of doing that.
My primary interest in the sky I can relate to 3 encounters: 1 Colorado Rocky Mountain National Park, the stars were so bright they kept me awake at night! 2 the Northern lights we saw in the widerness in Minnisota near the Canada border. 3 same campin trip thought we saw a UFO ( might have been the Moonshine ).
I would again like to thank all who made the time to respond and give such great help in my early stages of discovery. I look at the cloudy sky and await.
