Hi from Isle of Wight

Hi All,

I've been using the excellent advice in these forums over the last 8 weeks or so and its been an invaluable resource, particularly for steering me through those all important first purchase decisions.

Now decided its time to sign up and take part officially. I have lots to learn, but will try not to ask too many dumb questions along the way.

Thanks for all the advice thus far..

Welcome Jake, nice place for astronomy, used to live on the IOW myself many years ago, seriously thinking of moving back.

A big SGL welcome all the way from Bulgaria, I like where you live, visited once and once is not enough. Hope you have some nice dark skies to the South.

Alan.

Hey thanks everyone - now that really is a warm welcome.

One or two advantages or living here at the edge of civilisation, but the seeing not quite so great over the last 5-6 weeks. I'm pinning my hopes on getting enough practice and improving the navigation/star hopping enough that I can find my was around for our local star party in March - (http://www.iowstarparty.org/IOWSP/Home.html). Any of you been before or coming for this?
