ScouseSpaceCadet Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 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!) Hi All! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScouseSpaceCadet Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Thanks All. 3 hours ago, Andy R said: Hello there. Where abouts are you planning to go camping then? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy R Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 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.
