M110 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hi all, Thought I'd post in the Welcome forum to say hi as it's been years since I was last on the site. I kind of drifted away from the hobby but have now returned I still own some of my old astro equipment: Skywatcher 12" Skyliner dob (with a steadily corroding mirror ), and a Skymax 150 mak on an old black non-goto EQ6. Unfortunately it is stored in my parent's shed and I now live 150 miles away with nowhere to store equipment that large! So I have recently purchased a Skmax 102 mak and an old AZ4 mount which I have had great fun observing the moon and Saturn with a couple of times in the last week or so. Looking forward to learning my way around the skies again - I am sure it will all come flooding back! I now live in Exeter, Devon and teach science in a local secondary school including A-level physics Anyway, good to be back and nice to meet you all (again!)

TSRobot Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It's good to be back ain't it!? I've too left a few times too and each time sold all my kit and reeeeeeeegretted it later big time. But now with this fab forum whenever I think I've made a mistake I can look it up and find that I'm not the only one. That makes me feel much better.

barkis Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Welcome back to SGL, enjoy your second coming, you know it's a great place, and you must have had good reason to go for a break. Anyway, you're home again, hopefully to sign up for life . Just a thought, living in Exeter you have access to First Light Optics, so if you need at some time to increase your Kit size you won't need to pay P@P. HehHeh! Just kidding.
