Bournemouth newbie

[Ikky87]

Hi all,

I was given a NatGeo Dobson telescope last year and haven't really used it much, is there any groups in Bournemouth that I could meet up with and gain some knowledge from I'm a complete beginner to.

Thanks.

Welcome to SGL....have a look in the links section, there is bound to be a club somewhere near you. The New Forest is one of those lucky dark skies areas.

Welcome Ikky. The astro club is a great idea. Between that and the Lounge, you should be able find all you'll ever need to know. Don't hesitate to ask anything, however basic you think it might be, everyone here has had to start somewhere!

Best wishes and clear skies
