I blame this guy and I was 61 years young

I think you all need to get out more

RIP

Many thanks

Me too please

I'm ashamed to have to admit it, but I didn't know anything about astronomy, until I saw Stargazing with Brian Cox, OK I new where Polarise was, but that was all. I have spent many nights beach fishing and looking up at the stars, but had no interest other than that, I came on this forum and I didn't really know what to expect from other members, but having a look at the beginners section and seeing all the replies from “hardened astronomers” I was well pleased.

I sat down and over a period of 5 days I have read most if not all the whole site and now have a little more knowledge of telescopes, mounts and eyepieces and more to the point what I can get for my money and of course what to buy.

So a big well done to everybody as a good forum is only as good as it's members.
