Hello from New Zealand.
My name is AL. I live in Christchurch under Bortle 8 skies. But perfect skies are a short drive jut down the road.
I started astronomy as a kid in NZ with a pair of binoculars. Since I have maintained the hobby as a much needed distraction form work.
I Recently moved back from Australia after tens years in Brisbane. I got to know the local astronomy groups in Brisbane quite well. I am a member of the Brisbane Astronomical Society BAS. I also got to know the Astro-Anarchy crew. I have also done some telescope repair work for a local business Sirius Optics. There I also trained new and old amateur astronomers on the latest and not so latest gear. After moving back to NZ I have been getting to know the local astronomer group. The Canterbury Astronomical Society CAS. Needless to say NZ is much quieter than Australia and I am keen to connect worldwide to maintain my interest in the stars.
Kind Regards
AL
