Hey from Trumbull, CT was created by Issflareman
Hey from the USA!

Well I guess i'd better introduce myself. My name is Joe and I've been into astronomy for awhile now. I own an 8" Meade LXD55 Schmidt, an 80mm Vixen Refractor, a rarley used Tasco 60mm, my newest edition to the "Family", a homeade 70mm "Mixing Bowl" mount refractor, and Hopefully soon, A C102 Short-tube refractor.

I have my own website: Astronomy Made Easy www.freewebs.com/issflareman and belong to NJ Night Sky, Astronomy.com, and About Astronomy forums as well, Also known as Issflareman.

Well I hope to be able to help here and there and wish all Happy Holidays!

Hi Joe,

Nice website:) Tell us a little about the night sky in connecticut? Much light pollution or have you got those pristine dark skies like they have in Arizona?
