Should put a bigger smile sometimes, looks like you just want to get out of there :D
I get that a lot!
Holy cannoli Terry! I didn't realize you were a big deal in the amateur astronomy community! :P I'm actually honored and flattered you've given me a follow on Steemit. I remember when Comet Hale-Bopp passed by. At the time I was 9 years old and was living in western North Carolina. If I remember correctly, it was in the sky for a record amount of time. One of the cooler astronomical experiences I've had in my life besides the occasional meteor shower or two. I may have to pick your brain about getting a decent camera for night sky photography. I've been in the market for a mid-range camera that can get the job done. Also, I need to do a proper introduce yourself post as well— I had no clue you had to verify your identity!
Thanks @keephy I got some great views of Comet Hale-Bopp , I was travelling around the western part of the US at the time. Check out my latest article regarding cameras.
What a fascinating bio @terrylovejoy I can't pretend to understand much about astronomy but it appears that you are more than qualified to write informative articles about the subject and mingle with astrophotgraphy legends. What a trill it must have been for you to discover comets! I shall have to tell my grandchildren that I 'know' a guy who has discovered comets. I won't add the fact that I have only just met you and I hope they don't ask me any tricky questions about comets. (: Anyway.......it is nice to meet you, another Brissy steemian and I wish you all the best for your life's journey. Reach for the stars!!!!!
Thank you @trudeehunter, my life has certainly been an interesting journey! Thanks for taking the time out to have a read of my intro #2 :)
My pleasure @terrylovejoy 🌺
Ah, we already verified you when we let you into Team Aus, but this was a nice overview of your interests anyway. Your astronomy stuff is awesome.
OK thanks @choogirl , I also wanting to make a bigger deal of my astronomy stuff in my intro, because most of my articles are around that. Anyway thanks again to Team Aus!
You discovered a comet! Awesome! I have attempted to do some astrophotography out at Pitt worth at the In laws... But I haven't mastered the art yet. I took astronomy for interest in my undergrad degree as an elective subject. It's still a subject of interest for me. How good are these new apps these days that let you find out what stars, constellations and space junk we're looking at.
Nice to steem-meet you :-)
Thank you @positiveninja ! I've got an article I'm working on for basic astrophotography...keep your eyes open for that one.
Will do 👍
My question will you be alive for hailey's return and did you get to name the comet you discovered :) ? and upvoted!
I hope I am alive for Halley's next return (and that my mind and vision are able)! My Grandmother saw Halley in 1910, and I was able to show it again to her in 1986. The comet discoveries get named after the surname of the discovered, eg. Comet C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy).
That's a cool shot of Halley's comet. I remember watching it with my dad sitting on the roof of our house when I was 6 !
Thank you @intrepidphotos. I seem to remember hand-guiding that image with a friends camera taped to the top of the telescope - these days we have little portable trackers - would have been nice back then :)
Nice to meet you, Terry aka astronomer! ;)) You seem a very interesting personality. Halley's comet you captured looks AMAZING! Hubble telescope is yours man! :)) Wish you best of luck and hope we connect. Keep up.
I am into healthy lifestyle, motivation and more in case you would like to visit my channel :) VALUE guaranteed
Welcome to the best community ever which values our hardwork . Hope you'll have good time here. Gud people are waiting for you... Feel free to share what you like with me and be in touch @sarinakhan
Comet named after you :) that must be something. Well done!
