  2. There will be no formal speaker at our July meeting. instead we are holding an informal 'equipment clinic' meeting where we can discuss any technical kit issues, or just show off your new toys!

    • Maybe you're thinking of buying a telescope.
    • Maybe you're wondering how to take pictures of the night sky.
    • Maybe you're looking for an upgrade - or even to sell.

    Why not come along and discuss it - or just come along for a chat.  We're a friendly club situated on the edge of the New Forest and welcome everyone, from the novice to the expert.

    If you are interested in coming along, please drop me a PM or email membership@fordingbridgeastro.org.uk and I'll pass on the location and more details.

    Hi Rory. I think your being a bit harsh on vlaiv. This is an open forum and he's well entitled to contribute. He hasn't said the project can't be done as far as I can see and he has highlighted some obstacles to overcome. 

    We agree. 

    Anyone who has spent any time at SGL will know vlaiv is an experienced astronomer respected for his knowledge and contribution to the community. 

    @rorymultistorey You are welcome to use SGL to publicise your project and raise support but we will not allow personal attacks.

  4. We are receiving threats of legal action from the owner of Dark Frame Optics. Some DFO customers have shared their experiences, positive and negative, here at SGL. DFOs owner says some are personal attacks and has demanded they be removed. 

    SGL is not responsible for posts made by DFO customers so threats of legal action are inappropriate. We have however noticed this situation has been ongoing for some time! The SGL mod team are all volunteers. They generously give their time believing SGL is a force for good. We don't have time to debate or argue with suppliers or manage their reputations online so have simply removed 'all' mention of DFO from SGL. 

    We believe everyone should be able to share their experiences so we sincerely apologise to those members affected by our decision and remind them everyone at SGL is welcome to submit supplier reviews via our Supplier Reviews board. (Reviews posted outside the Supplier Reviews board will be moved to the correct board if appropriate). 

    Thank-you for your understanding.
