Hi From Peterborough, UK

[Josh1e]

Hi folks,

Father of an interested son here, we have a couple of telescopes, but as with most newbies, are lacking the knowledge to use them to their potential! To be fair, since getting the latest telescope, dad seems to be getting more and more interested too.. (no dad, no astrophotography for you, you have enough hobbies.. bad dad!!)

Currently using (well, trying!) a Skywalker Explorer 130 EQ2 with EQ2 motor, german AZ mount and stock lenses.
