Amateur astronomer from Berkshire

[Sheen8thames]

Hello my fellow astronomers,

I live in Reading, UK. I dont have any equipment or telescopes with me here so I quench my thirst using stellarium mostly. This is really frustrating as its almost always cloudy here and there are almost no star parties anywhere near me.

Anyone living near Berkshire feel the same way?

I hope to have a fun time here.

Cheers...

Hi Tehsin,

Welcome to the lounge from someone at the other end of Berkshire! My scope has been sitting idle far too often with all this cloud.

Hi Tehsin and welcome. Yes, this country does get its fair share of clouds. The following link might be of use.

Welcome to SGL

My recollection is that there are quite a few Berkshire-based members of SGL. I used to live there, but not for well over nine years now.

Hi Tehsin and welcome - sadly I'm sharing your clouds!

[ubertank]

Hi there Tehsin. The last couple of months has been incredibly awful weather-wise.

I'm hoping for a better summer this year, but am not too optimistic.

Enjoy the SGL anyway.

Hello and welcome from me too - try searching for 'astropub', there's a group that organise events in pub gardens around Reading.
