Hello SL

I've just joined SL but been interested in astronomy for 40+ years beginning with the astronomical society at school. The first telescope that I had was from Dixons a 'just over 2 inch' refractor courtesy of winning the golden goal competition at Everton (my dad promised he would buy it me with the winnings - sloppy back pass by Bobby Moore; David Johnson goal).

I bought a Skywatcher 200P EQ5 this summer (not the best summer for clear nights!) and have been getting used to setting it up. The few clear nights recently have given me the chance to really try it out and I am most impressed. I would like to try my hand at astrophotography in the future.

I'm a member of the BAA and an avid reader of astronomy articles and magazines (and other science magazines).

I look forward to following the forums (or should that be fora?)
