Okay, Alan, welcome to the Net. My name is Burnus, that's Bravo, Uniform, Romeo, November, Echo, Sierra, Sierra, the call sign, Kilowatt, India, zero, Alpha, you found the Colorado Astronomy Net. I've been doing this for, gosh, almost 30 years. I've seen a lot happen over the years on the Net as well. Basically how I'm doing it, I'm obviously taking check-ins, got some announcements, quick announcements, got some local astronomical news, what's up in the skies for the week, got some bulletins, putting a rocket report interested in rocket launches around the world, stay tuned for that. I'd like to go down the list and talk with everybody, questions and answers and topics of your interest as well as observation reports, what you guys are looking at up in the skies. I'll probably run, well, right now an hour and a half here in Colorado, so hopefully you can stick around for that. But first off, I'd like to touch base with my new check-ins and find out what's up in your background and interest in astronomy. Whether you start now or you've been doing it for decades, or you're just starting out wondering what those specks of light are up in the skies, or you've studied it harder than I have and can teach me a few tricks. Somewhere in between what your interests are, I've got a whole bunch of interests here, radio astronomy, observation and photography, cosmology, all that kind of stuff. So, Alan, please share with us what your interest, background in astronomy is. Go ahead.
