[Chicago Astronomer - Astro Joe]

Hi Iota...

Welcome to the Chicago Astronomer!

Tell us a bit about yourself and of your interest in Astronomy...

[iota]

Retired from Local Government, White Male 56, yrs old. I'm a current Pilot, gunsmith, and machinist...and have built 4 aircraft...Purchased a Celestron 11 Inch CPC Deluxe HD EQ Wedge Telescope, Televue power mates 2 and 4 X. and a 17mm Ethos EP. Joined a local Astronomy Club but its and 1.2 hrs drive 1 way. Its been too cloudy all but 7 nights in the last 4 months so it makes it hard to view. I also do Terrestrial photography. I've made the EP adapters out of T-6... 6061... 3.5 solid round stock for the Ethos 17mm out of aluminum.
I'm looking forward to learning all I can from you guys and enjoying this hobby...
