Where do you spend your time on SGL

[Matt Scunthorpe]

Always wondered where people tend to browse and if they stick to certain areas.

When i first joined, i found myself only ever looking the Beginners advice section.

Now i tend to dip into most of the sub forums, but particularly like reading the science section and the Observing posts.

How do other people spend their time on here?

I think it depends on where people are in their astronomy journey. For me I have not yet parted with my £££ to get a scope so spend time in the beginners and equipment/setup discussions. I sometimes venture into the astrophotography sections when i am feeling brave.

It is amazing how much knowledge you can pick up, even though the only experience I have had is with my cheapy 70mm refractor I still find that I am able to help others out, simply from reading and learning from others experiences. I am looking forward though to getting my hands on a descent setup.

generally in the beginners, cos that what I am. But love the science debates on current theories, even if i do not understand them all LOL

On the threads with the fewest replies. No point just repeating what has already been said. No real preference for which board.

[pete_l]

No particular area. I just set up a View new content config to track the forums I'm interested inand see the newest posts in them only.

[Mansnake]

I generally flick between Beginners and Tips and the Astro lounge.

[Capricorn]

Generally any where.

Sometimes best to avoid some.

[Uranium235]

Usually the imaging section, but it can be anywhere I see an interesting discussion to which I feel I can contribute... apart from the physics/science forum when Im well and truly out of my depth!

[Astro Imp]

Usually start in the beginners forum, to learn and try to contribute, move onto the Astro Lounge and depending on what time I have take in the the Observing Forum and once or twice a week I like to look at the Images -Sketching.

Most of my time is spend browsing "New Content" until someone posts a link which could, and frequently does, takes me anywhere

[sologuitarist61]

Always start with the The Latest Classifieds, then Recent Topics, then Beginners section, then onto the Astro Lounge, then onto Solar Imaging, then onto ......................... !!!!

Each day I tend to have a quick look at the Classifieds to see if there's anything tasty on offer, then spend the rest of the time using the View New Content facility.

[sunshine185]

Most of my time is spent between beginners, the lounge and diy astronomer.

[Double Kick Drum]

Always check the "Observing" sections, especially for reports and deep sky but also love the Astro-lounge, the Lounge and many others.

[MarkMayf]

Here, there, and everywhere!

[brantuk]

All over the place really - I like to see what's for sale, which star parties are on, what gear folks have got, and whether there's any interesting conversations going on or images being discussed. But I hang most of the time between the beginners and equipment sections trying to help out where I can. I also spend considerable time answering questions in pm - or directing folks where to find answers I don't have.

I'm all over this site.........like a rash

[Hex]

Equipment, scopes mostly. Astro lounge after that I suppose. I am trying to wean myself of SGL, I spend to much time on here and it occasionally makes me want to buy gear I don't really need... I am weak.

Observing sections take up most of my time, then the lounges. And SGL8 at the moment...

[Qualia]

Here, there, and everywhere!

Great song by a great band.

Much the same, here, there and everywhere unless there's a communication breakdown...

[yeti monster]

Like forum lurgy, I'm all over it. I do have to hold back on my postits though, as my sense of humour is often misunderstood...

[Rakanishu]

I usually lurk round the Beginners, Astro Lounge and the member reviews.

Its so interesting to see the different experiences each person has with different telescopes

[MorningMajor]

I Like to say hi to new members first as I remember how welcome I felt when I posted my first nervous missive! Then I generally check for new posts and see what grabs my interest and that can be anywhere - including the dark side!

[JamesM]

I mostly hang around in the beginners and equipment section, along with the classifieds and the DIY section which can be very inspiring reflecting member's expertise and imagination! The new posts often throw up some interesting topics that might otherwise be hidden amongst all the other conversations.

I tend to go for posts that look interesting, regardless of where they are.
