Good evening everyone, new member here. Found the link on the Astronomy board.

I am originally from the city but have lived in the western burbs for the past 10 or so years.

There isint much to me. Give me my family and a clear sky and I'm happy.

Thank you for the welcome.

So far as equipment goes I ahve a 130mm Celestron StarSeeker. Also have a pair of 8x42 Zhumell binos.

My fave session was when Mars was at it closest to us, I forget what year. My mom was up from Florida on vaca and we just sat out on the front porch with a pitcher of iced tea. It was amazing.
