Hi all, 

I'm Jon from Manchester. I've recently rekindled my passion for astronomy and science in general and thought this was the best place to look to try and expand my knowledge and maybe (well, when I drastically improve my kit) show off what I've been able to see/image.

Being from Manchester I predict that I may get in say 5-10% actual observing time in but I remain quietly optimistic.

Hi Jon,

Welcome to the Lounge. What kit do you have at the minute?

What is your light pollution like, do you have to contend with street lights in your immediate vicinity?

yours, dry in Chorley (yeah, right)

There is quite a bit of light pollution here, I have Manchester city center in one direction and the Trafford Center in the other.

Hi Jon,

As I am now on the puter I can see you are based in Sale. I was on my phone earlier

Hi Jon and welcome to SGL.

There's a few of us from the North West that are regular's at the Galloway star camp,theres an event coming up at the end of March that might interest you.

It's a friendly relaxed get together of like minded people and skies are excellent.

Check out Galloway Spring Star Party in the event's section.

Kenny.
