Hi!

My name is Chris, and I'm from Ipswich!

This is actually my second introduction post - the first was around five years ago when I first became interested in astronomy.

I did things all the wrong way - thought throwing money at kit was a better idea than acutally learning what I was doing - and soon found myself poorer, and frustrated.

Most of the kit I had back then was soon sold when my girlfriend became pregnant, and we rapidly ran out of storage space for telecopes, and the time to do anything other than change nappies and feed babies!

Now that the kids are a little bigger, I've once again returned to standing in the garden in the middle of the night! I'm currently grabbing what kit I still have from the loft and garage, and trying to work out how I can see the most stuff without having to spend any money.

I took my four year old outside last night for his first look at Jupiter through our little Celestron NexStar 102 - he was totally blown away by it, and spent the next 20 minutes babbling to his Mum about how amazing space was!

Currently trying to work out how to put the SW 250PX OTA I have sitting in the garage to good use with no mount - and seriously regretting the day I ever sold my EQ6!
