Introductions, and so forth.

I'm Seryddwr, it means "Astronomer" in Welsh. (I have some welsh ancestry, only know about a dozen welsh words.)

I'm both a professional and amateur astronomer with a decades long love of space travel. I discovered KSP a couple of months ago and have already landed on all of the land-able bodies in career mode. (I'm hopelessly addicted to KSP).

This seems like a very friendly place, so I decided to join. (Also, I want to learn how to use Kopernicus )

(Love the Kerbal emojis )

Welcome to the forum, @seryddwr.  

How can you be both pro and amateur? 

[linuxgurugamer]

Welcome, I too would like to know

[seryddwr]

I work at an observatory and observe with my own small telescopes.

Hello @seryddwr and welcome to the KSP Forums!

Nice to have an astronomer aboard.

Happy landings!

Thanks Guys

So you're moonlighting as an astronomer? 

[seryddwr]

True, true

[seryddwr]

Moonlighting as an amateur, that is, I have a doctorate in astronomy.

[Vanamonde]

Impressive.

Cool, where do you work? No, let me take a wild guess - ESO? 

(It’s one of the very few observatories that I heard about)
