Hello everyone, I just joined your happy band. And, in accordance with the instructions I received by return e-mail, I am writing you all to introduce myself. People call me Troy Hedgepeth. I live in Chesapeake, Virginia, USA (36.76N 76.21W). Unfortunately, my night viewing conditions are not very good because of the close proximity to large urban areas. But, I do the best I can. I have a 4.5 inch Newtonian Reflector and a good pair of binoculars. I am interested in anything that would help make using both of them more exciting and entertaining. I am particularly interested in trying to catch a glimpse of Mir or the International Space Station. I appreciate advice from each of you out there (wherever you find are). I hope I can contribute to the discussion. Troy E. Hedgepeth
