Welcome to the forum Matt, 

I bet you get some nice clear skies just outside of Cambridge

[JonC]

Hi and welcome. My inlaws are in Huntingdon, do you go use your telescope in the garden or do you head out to the fens?

Hello Matt, welcome to the community, hope you enjoy your time with us all, my first

scope was a Skywatcher 90mm frac, very simalar to yours, it's a nice scope you will get

some nice views, don't expect Hubble type views, if you need any help, just post your 

question in the relevant forum, we are all here to help.

Good Luck and Clear Sky's.

[Mattwaters]

Thank you! Good to meet you all!I Ive only Spotted Jupiter, Mars and the moon at the moment, seems I got my telescope at the wrong time of year! lol

I normally head out towards Kettering, some villages along the A14 east have some amazing fields and no street lights!

 

I hope the picture scales ok.

Hi,

Your location looks more promising than mine!  The East is my favourite part of the country, almost every one of my 15 summers has been spent there--Cromer in particular. How far are you from the sea? (My geography is bad ).

Hi Matt and welcome to the forum

Clear skies

[Mattwaters]

Hi John, Cromer would take me about an hour to get there with no traffic. I may have to take a trip down there! Ive heard really good things! 

[FenlandPaul]

Welcome to SGL, Matt.  Some nice skies out west from Huntingdon and actually they're not too bad between you and Cambridge either (notwithstanding the horrible temporary white floodlights at the A14 upgrade bases at the moment!).  Two good Astro shops within reach as well - Green Witch at Gransden and the newly-moved Widescreen Centre at Sutton Gault, a dangerous 10 minutes from my door!

Welcome aboard Matt.

Welcome from Waterbeach. A really good site is halfway between Cambridge and Ely called Wicken Fen, if you ever venture this way.
