Rutland calling....

Hi Rutland - welcome to SGL :)

There's a bunch of us in the Leicester area that get together frequently and have been doing so for around 3yrs now. We do anything astronomically related including observing sessions - imaging - star parties - trips to events like Astrofest, Greenwich obsy, astro talks, Jodrel Bank, local Uni scopes, and social events like xmas parties and summer bbq's.

We rent three dark sites at Belper in Derbyshire, Wymeswold in Leicestershire, and Gibralter Point in Lincs. You'll find us under Social Groups on SGL called "East Midlands Stargazers" and we also have a website at http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/ It's a very friendly and welcoming group, always happy to help anyone from newbies to experienced astronomers, and with a lot of communal knowledge in all aspects of the hobby.

You'd be very welcome to come and try a session with us, look through a few scopes, get a feel for the group, and see what you think. :)

Hi brantuk & thank you for your response - I will have a look at your website and hopefully get along to one of your meetings very soon. I have just bought the Celestron advanced 9.25 SGT XLT on the CG-5 mount and have a lot to learn - managed to get an hours viewing last night before the clouds moved in and it was brilliant. Thanks again and hope to meet up soon, regards David
