Hi, all! Thought I'd drop a 'hello' post in here as that seems to be the done thing.
Long time fan of the night sky - so much so that I ended up doing a physics degree which sadly had [removed word]-all to do with the starts, and I ended up in the IT world instead. However, my eldest daughter's now doing an astronomy GCSE (the lucky thing - I would have killed to do that when I was her age!) and between the two of us we're sort of getting ourselves into the hobby side of things together. So that's nice.
Still to pick up my first 'proper' scope (although I've got my eye on a couple of options already) but I do have an old, knackered refracting 60/700 that's at least let us see a couple of things despite being more knackered than I am, poor thing.
See you all around in here, no doubt
Allan
