Hello all,
I have found a site with my true kindred spirits.
First clear night in Johannesburg in over 7 weeks.Currently imaging the Pleiades .hopefully go on till 2;00 AM.
Astrobin followers/members seem to be happy people.No country hangups like some other forums.

Peace

Hi,
there are some USA based forums with whom i felt a slight bias.
This is from their classified sections and some general forum questions.
i have one user who gave me a dissertation on how he sells products to CONUS members only and on the dangers of dealing with non USA members.
I was quite diapointed. But that's in the past.
I am a happy with the how Astrobin works,and again feel and are excited with a forum of people who share my love of the cosmos.

Looking forward to seeing your Pleiades image.
