'ello!

[ScouseSpaceCadet]

A long time astronomy/tech/science/computer anorak checking in! I've lurked here a while and enjoyed reading the wealth of information, as well as the nice piccies...

Finally I bought a 130p after 50 years mulling it over lol and with a first refractor (SW ST120) arriving next week, I'm hooked.

The camping gear has been dusted off, the dark sky campsites bookmarked and divorce preparations made (joke... Erm I hope!)

Andy I'm booked into my first one in three weeks. Yorkshire Dales, Bortle 4 skies.  Other places I intend to visit this year are the Lake District, Snowdonia and Bowland. All Bortle 3/4 skies. May do a couple of Astro camps funds and time allowing. Also applied for membership of the local Astro Society.

Nice selection of dark sites, I’m hoping to venture into Snowdonia soon myself , it’s not too far away but I need to go scope out some sites during the day first. I’ve been to look at a couple of sites over in Denbigh moors and Llanrwst, just waiting for the right night with the right weather, and a bit more experience observing. 

Wishing you clear skies.

 The principles of SGL– every yes, you get a no, and vice versa. Just keep that in mind when asking questions– otherwise, welcome to SGL!
