Re: Paramount ME II

Thanks Gary for updating us on that one.

Hi Mariner,

Re: Newbie...late starter...Jupiter!

Hi Kah Wai,

Thanks for sharing.

Like you I picked up astronomy because I drove my wife and son to an astronomy presentation. Subsequently, the help from this community is instrumental in me sustaining my interest. You are tuned in to the right channel :)

Hope to hear more from you.

Alfred
