Hello folks

[Ben Ritchie]

Hello all. I felt it was about time I registered on SGL, although I suspect I know a fair few of you from CN, UKAI or the UK astro buy & sell website :mrgreen:

Anyway, i'm from the reasonably dark skies of Bosham, West Sussex (just) - been interested in Astronomy forever, although I spent rather too long studying it before ever actually getting around to using a telescope. Mostly an imager, although increasingly interested in the visual side of things.

Fairly usual set of kit - couple of reflectors, couple of refractors, couple of mounts, mostly in a backyard roll-off roof observatory.

So <fx: hunts through list of smiles...> a :wave: from me

Hi Ben, and welcome to the 'dark side'

Although I still occasionally visit the 'other side', I tend to spend 99% of my forum time here now.

You'll find a lot of familiar names here.

Enjoy!!
