Oh great MMZ_TimeLord, I will be waving my lightsabre and singing your praises. I hope I'll be able to put them to good use. I'm still waiting on my A:M software to arrive and I'm less than a newbie. The NASA Blue Marble series are awesome photos. Thanks

Thanks John for the welcome. I have so much to learn and play with. Do you ever look at the Astronomy Picture of the Day web site? http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060131.html The illustrations always knock me out. Thanks again for the welcome. Margaret

Hi everyone, I've only just ordered my copy of A:M, so I'm looking forward to its arrival in Australia. I retired to the south coast of New South Wales about 13 years ago. I'm a Melbourne (Victoria) girl born and bred. My working background was in computer techincal support . I have completed my MSc (Astronomy) from Swinburne Astronomy Online http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/sao/ I am going backwards and doing a BSc in Computing and Maths via distant education, to update my computer skills and er um ... I last did high school Maths in the late 1960's. I am looking forward to learning and having fun with animation. Hopefully I can animate some astronomical processes. I am a new newbie
