Hello from North West UK *Southport*.

[Tarnish9]

Thought I would have a mooch around before saying hello. I've a lot to learn and the Forum looks intuitive and interesting.

I managed to pick up a as new Dobsonian Telescope yesterday. It's a Christmas present for me and I cannot wait to be using it.

In the meantime I have some books to read and also lots of information on here.

Thanks for letting me join your group.

This is a great adventure, and there's lots of encouragement and guidance from SGL.  Have fun!

Hello from Liverpool. You should see loads with the 8" dob. There's loads of info here to help you get the most of it. Don't hesitate to ask. Someone will help.

Southport also has its own astronomical society.

I’m getting worried. Where is Demon Performer? On holiday I hope without the face paint so you don’t scare any children. Let us know all is good as I am getting spooked by your absence.
