really glad to have registered here.

its difficult to discuss this stuff with people in general without feeling like some kind of nerd (although i'm sure there's an element of that in all of us).

good to know so many other people are doing it too.

i still have a slight feeling of "sneaking around" in my own back garden after dark with binos (and now a telescope, although that's obviously less suited to sneaking), and a "whatever will the neighbours think?" type thing going on in my head.

be good to find out where people go to do some dark site observing.

i live in south beds.

a few places round here, i think, but again, i'm a bit selfconcious / nervy about setting my stuff up somewhere dark and isolated. anybody else get these reservations?

anyway, great forum!!
