Astromart classified personal info

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

There's no way around that... this system is based on email contact. (You could always use a VALID secondary email address for these things though...)
I have been involved in several transactions through the years that I've been in Astromart and I've never had ANY issues...

This place is one of the safest ones... 8)

Excellent shot my friend!

I had a FIRST time opportunity to view this object this past Winter Star Party, here at the Florida Keys, and it was awesome!

Thanks for sharing, and keep it up! 8)

Why we observe

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

So true... Ivan. 8)
We become one with Nature, we feel truly "ALIVE" when we are at a dark site, with no signs of civilization around us...
It is a beautiful thing, that (sadly) few have experienced...

Thanks,
