Hi Tony, I am in the same boat and local to you in Stockport, in that I have very recently started to explore AstroPhotography having been a long-time on/off stargazer.
I have started small, investing in a Dwarf II portable telescope as an entry device and I have my eye on a more mid-range setup depending on whether I get bitten by the bug. I am, however, I am struggling for accessible locations around the Peaks or Cheshire where light pollution is minimal. So any hints/tips welcome. 🙂
Happy to link up over Email etc
Hello from Cheshire, UK
in Welcome

Hi all, I am new to the site and to astronomy having "lurked" around the subject for many years. My interest is in developing my skills and necessary equipment for AstroPhotography having recently taken the plunge and purchasing a Dwarf II mobile device as my entry point and my muse being @Astrobiscuit on YouTube. I would love to interact with like-minded and more experienced members to grow in the hobby and perhaps attend any local events as my skills and confidence develop.
Away from my initiative steps into what I hope will become a new hobby, I reside on the outskirts of Stockport in Cheshire, I have 35 years of experience in IT and Development, making the technology aspect of this field of interest and I am keen to identify good accessible and private spots locally where light pollution is low and I can safely set up and use my equipment to take my first steps into DeepSpace Astrophotography; with expectations aligned with the equipment I have.
