Hi Jamie, welcome to SGL.

Indeed. Chris is a very engaging and informative speaker. If only all my teachers had been like that!

Hi Richard, welcome to the forum. Steve

It was pretty much grab it while I could!

I had poor luck with NEOWISE due to generally cloudy skies. So I took a punt last week (23/7), setting up a camera pointing to where I thought the comet would be, and was lucky when the clouds dispersed for a few minutes, and got a bunch of 15 second exposures!

Ah, yes! I can appreciate that! BTW, love the quote in your sig! It rings so true for me! 🤗

I am looking foward to it. When I was young the sky always seemed so clear, even in town! But having spent many years near Cambridge I am used to sodium yellow!!! In comparison, my new sky's are gorgeous!! Perhaps the lure of a quieter, less hectic lifestyle might help the missus appreciate a location with darker skies!! lol 😆 Steve

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to turning the day on it's head, and spending many nights under the sky!

Hello Everyone, Having a long time love of the night sky, the combination of retirement and a move to a reasonably dark site in Norfolk is hopefully going to lead to a more active observing life. I am also aiming to get more involved in astrophotography, so I forsee quite a learning curve ahead! Cheers all! Steve
