Nike Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi All, just recently taken up an interest in astronomy, now semi retired so have more time on my hands. Living in rural Somerset UK have some decent dark Skies locally. To get started have bought a Celestron C5 , easy to use and move as a grab & go and Vixen porta 11 mount. Just getting my head round it all, have had some really good clear nights recently from my back garden, actually found Andromeda last week so quite chuffed with myself but a long learning process about the sky above and how to read a star map!! All new to me so i guess will be asking loads of daft questions...................thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
