There used to be a New Forest Stargazers group that met occasionally, but not seen any posts from them in a while. There are also Wessex, Fordingbridge and Solent Amateur Astronomy groups that might be worth contacting, these get together for sessions in various places in/around the New Forest. (you can find them by searching the internet. To be honest there are plenty of dark sites in the New Forest. Have a look on line for New Forest camp sites (places like Holmsley camp site).

A really interesting review. Thank you. I am only a humble beginner with a starter scope but can appreciate your joy at having such a great scope. I look forward to more reports. Andrew

Very informative site with very clear info. Bookmarked. Look forward to seeing it's development. Only suggestion I have is maybe something around the jetstream data as this affects seeing doesn't it? Andrew
