Hello,

I joined a few weeks ago and have been studying the wealth of information in the forums before deciding I should go ahead and commit money to this game. So, I’ve made my decision and it all starts tomorrow when I go to my local stockist and order a Skywatcher 150PL on an EQ5 mount (it’s too late if you want to talk me out of it).

Being retired, I can split my time between my house in Norfolk (in a housing estate with the usual light pollution) and my caravan near Dumfries (short driving distance from the superb dark skies area).

I’ve read all I can on polar alignment, right ascension and declination, collimation, messier objects, red torches etc. etc. so, thanks in anticipation to all those more knowledgeable than me – I’m sure I’ll have a few questions once I get going.

Hugh.
