Hi everyone,

when i say from sunny Spain, i mean normally that is where i would be? but, i am in the UK alot of the time at the moment... working Grrr!

I would be very interested in knowing if there is many people from Spain on here, i have been on alot of forums and it seems that Spain is not that well attended by astronomers! sadly, living on top of a mountain i get the most stunningly clear nights and alot of them in the course of a year, it would be great to find someone local to share my pastime with... my wife has the 5 minute, lets have a look! but its freezing outlook on astronomy :-)

i have had an observatory for about 5 years on my roof in Spain with a 14" LX200R permanently housed that i get to use a few times a year at the moment, i am going to be there alot more this year tho! happy days....

no dought i will be backwards and forwars on here for info and for that i would like to say a big thanks up front.

Colin

Hi Colin and welcome to SGL!! I too am in Spain, about 20 km's from Valencia. It is rather solitary out here as there's precious few brits out here that are into astronomy. I did visit my local astronomy club last year, but as it was all in Spanish I just couldn't get on with it. I hope to return when my Spanish is better! I'm not sure where you are, but there's a few astro societies around and I certainly know of one on the Costa Blanca that is run by British expats.
