Hi all,

Greetings from the bonnie banks of loch Lomond. I'm brand new to astronomy so in the process of reading up and trying to get my head round the basics ... i.e which end of the telsecope is up! I'll maybe figure that out if the clouds ever break, meantime I'm looking forward to having a rummage around in here for some hints and tips

Hi and welcome to the lounge!

Sounds like you might have some dark skies up there, well, in between the clouds.
