A return, so saying hi (again)

[sezicoolcat]

Have been away from all things astronomy related for a while. Work and life seem to get in the way.

I have a SkyWatcher Explorer 200P on an EQ5 mount.

I don't know what I am doing with it - had it 4 years, and I have never seen a star through it.

I have a couple of small scopes, latest is a bresser reflector I think.

Still cant use those. I am terrible at this.

Need to attend some observing sessions whereby someone can literally show me what to do.

I am off to Herstmonceux Astronomy festival on Friday, camping the weekend (if anyone from here attends this event also, and sees my Nato Green VW T25 campervan, do come and say hello, please)

Hi Sarah and welcome back to the forum. This is certainly the place to return if you are in need of improving your observation skills. Might be worth posting a question or two over o the observation sections to get some ideas.

Clear skies in the meantime and hope you enjoy your stay.

hi Sarah, I was at hersty last year and you certainly won't be short of help there. It's the tenth anniversary this yr so should be a great week-end. Just don't be afraid to ask people. We astronomers are generally nice and only bite when cornered

welcome back.

I am new here too. I also don't have much free time for astronomy. I wish I could make that my profession

Hi Sarah and welcome back, your weekend should be a moral boost to get that big scope set up and into use, I know its easier to use the smaller guys, but they do not have the same wow factor, enjoy
