Hey everyone on LPF!
Just wanted to start things off on a good foot and introduce myself.
My name is Sterling and I'm from the San Francisco bay area. I enjoy sunset walks along the beach and warm blankets...Just kidding, hehe.
I am a full time college student and tutor working toward an M.A. in English/creative writing on path to becoming an English professor! I recently got into this addictive hobby after a fun night in an astronomy class. The professor helped us in completing a sky chart by pointing to the sky with his beautiful greenie. My memories shot to when I first saw a red laser in junior-high school, then to the first red laser I owned. I knew I had to have a greenie but wanted one more powerful than the dim one the prof had (likely about a 5mw). Through much research—mostly on this forum—I purchased an optotronics 30mw (tested at 32mw) 532nm, and LOVE IT.
I have been working on getting a nice blue laser next and have quite a bit to say about that topic, but I will save that for another post.
I do of course have many non-laser interests and hobbies, mostly expensive ones of course, but I will save those details for off-topic threads and people who ask!
Glad to be a member of this community and I'm looking forward to meeting you all!
:thanks:

You may begin to notice that a lot of our members are not around much on the weekend so things are a lot slower around here then. Still LOTS to rad up on and enjoy
