That's me on the right it was a rough night and I didn't want to say anything to him but I think he might have had a nip and tuck done... He looks good for his age huh? :?

I knew he looked familiar ! How did you get to meet Neil Armstrong?

He was the main speaker at the M$ Office 2007 and Vista launch this year, my organisation were used to highlight a project using the new software so we got VIP tickets and the VIPs got to meet and speak to him during the launch :D I have to say he was a fantastic speaker and very funny too.


Good lord .... I had no idea the first man on the moon had sunk so low :(

I'd have imagined that someone who has achieved what he as would have better uses for his times than cheap advertising for a sub-standard product.

Replied by Seanie_Morris on topic Re: Hello

I've a few quick questions for you if someone can help.

  1. Anyone from KAS know what's happened to your website, it seems to be off-line. I was hoping to join some of the upcoming meetings.


Welcome to the boards Arty! I spotted your other thread query on this seen here . Hope the suggestion is of use to you.

Welcome!

Most astronomy books, even the ones in easons should have a basic map of the moon in it. I guess it depends on how detailed you want really. If you want to be able to identify every crater you can see in a bair of binoculars or telescope then you might want to look at software, I think lunar phase pro has the ability to identify craters (free trial version at lunarphasepro.nightskyobserver.com/ ). Someone also posted a link to a poster yesterday for sale at www.moonposter.ie ; it looks a pretty good wall chart map.

Cheers,
~Albert

You might also like to look at this piece of free software Virtual Moon Atlas I'm pretty new to this also and found this helpful... that was of course before the skies clouded over and denied me access to the stars :(
