Lets have a get together.

Hi guys.

I'm generally new to "proper" astronomy, but I've owned a scope a long time.

I was wondering if anyone is anywhere near Hartside pass and fancied meeting me and a few friends for an evenings explore of the heavens? I suggest here because its halfway between me and my friends and its got plenty of parking and reletively low light polution

If no one is interested that's fine, but if anyone is, lets arrange a night

Take it easy guys and clear skies.

If you're in Penrith, another good place (and on the way to Hartside) are the standing stones at Long Meg (near Langwathby). I've spent a few nights there taking photos with my DSLR, and it's a pretty magical setting, with no streetlights in sight and pretty much a 360 degree view.

Is it ever not windy up the Hartside Pass?!
