Hi Rich there are other clubs about wolvas.org.uk but Walsall is nearest for you.

Try this https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/uk/catalogues     and look at Created by Oleg Maliy

cdcwr:III/215 7th Catalog of Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars (van der Hucht, 2001)

This happened to me with an 8" LX90 some years back but I only had 1 come out. I put the tube pointing down and gently slackened off the two other knobs till the third was able to get at the thread then had to gently screw all three in a few turns and find someone who helped me collimate.

Nice pics mate we were at the vineyard saw a few but only got a few images and there were 16 of us there.

Try joining your local astro society. see list under the resources tab at the top of the page.

Hi I would suggest joining Wolverhampton Astronomical Society www.wolvas.org.uk and coming along to the Perton Library Astronomy Group as we meet on the 3rd Thursday of the month at the Library Thursday 21st July is the next one. Feel free to contact president@wolvas.org.uk for further info.

An a newby I suggest you join your local astro society. Welcome aboard.

Mmm it was cold  but two nights observing in a row was worth the effort to get to darker skies but I am afraid I can not promise it every time we are there. Hope to see more there in the Summer camp.

Wolverhampton A.S. have just had an observing weekend at a campsite in Shropshire where I could see M44 with naked eye so a lot better than the West Midlands hope some of my pics come out ok.

Ah ok that's a no then. 😞

The old peak star party at Chelmoreton had enough power and not too many trees and we used the barn for stuff as well.

Thanks Daz sterling work, now we all have to get our thinking caps on. !!!

Have a look at the resources tab at the top of the main page there is a society finder there.
