Hi from god's own country!

[curls]

That'd be Yorkshire of course. More specifically, the West bit. Relatively new to astronomy, just going to prove that you *can* learn an old dog new tricks. I made myself a member a while ago and have been reading behind everyones backs, and decided it was time to say hello.

I became interested when Holmes made its flashy entrance last October, and bought a pair of 15x70 bin's to look at it. That led to purchasing and making other bits, which, as in any other hobby, are crying out to be replaced already. I've got a hell of a lot to learn, and not enough time to do it in, so I am going back to reading again.

Hi ......?, and welcome to SGL.

As you don't give your name, I'm not sure if we are welcoming 'curls' as a new lady member, or a 'bloke' :?

Welcome aboard Curls

- I have to say when I noticed the line 'God's own.....' in Recent Posts, I thought to myself @they'd best be talking about Yorkshire, so needless to say it raised a chuckle when I read your opening line .

Thanks for the welcome, all.

My name is Martin, but most people have called me "curls" all my life. Nothing to do with hair, that disappeared a few decades ago. It's actually a misspelt contraction of my surname. And now you know more than most of the people who call me it.

Hi Curls i just started posting in here my self.

Needed some extra info on my mount.

Got to admit the replies are coming fast and furious between 5 and 10 minutes.

Hope you like it in here and keep on posting.

Davey.

Funny, that's what we call north-central ONtario, but welcome anyway.

I lived in Yorkshire. It was nice.

Hi curls! I'm 45 and very much a beginner. Time doesn't matter; it's the passion and enjoyment that's important!

Hi Martyn! I'm about 6 miles away as the comet flies, but I see a senior moment has set in. I said over there (waves hand in the general direction of A-C) that I would like to nip over and see your observatory. :wave:

Hi Martin & welcome to SGL

Yet another member who has been bitten by the `I want more and need more bug` . As for having a lot to learn, i think many of us are in the same boat, no matter how much you read up on astronomy there is always a lot more still to learn.

Enjoy

Mark
