Hello and welcome

Hi Iain,

Welcome to SGL.

No the skies are not always like this in the UK, you just got jammy

Another thing don't consider GOTO cheating. There have been a number of threads on the forum on this subject and the general concensus is that the main thing is to enjoy your observing however you do it.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

Of course I did have to mention the weather, today is the second day in a row that we've been teased with clear daytime skies only to have a cloud bank roll in at sunset.

Ho hum

Hi Bob,

Other side of Northants I'm afraid, over Stanwick way on the East.

Hi Iain,

Welcome to the forum.

We are blessed in the UK with having some of the clearest skies in the world, and very little light pollution.

/sarcastic mode off

You have been lucky thus far, usualy after buying new kit, you will be clouded out for weeks. Make the most of the clear skies.

Welcome to SGL, Iain!
