Good Morming Keith

A warm welcome to the SGL forum :wave: .

Enjoy your new telescope - don't forget to post a first light report on SGL

What are the skies like in South Somerset - nice and dark or do you suffer from light pollution?

Merry Christmas and Dark Skies

Welcome Keithp.

In what part of the earthly paradise that is South Somerset can you be found?

I'm from Yeovil myself.

Good luck with the new toy.

:wave: Hi from me too - thats quite a lightbucket and I bet you'll be amazed when you get a peek through it

[Keithp]

Many thanks for such a warm welcome. I'm actually in a little village near Crewkerne, no street lights and inky black skys. Took it out in the back garden last night just for a quick peek but not got the finder scope all lined up yet so just had a quick look around...amazing, sure blows the binos out of the water. Hopefully later today will get the finder lined up then try a few targetted objects.

Anybody got any suggestions for my first targetted views?

Regards

All
