Orion17 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi Everyone, Thought i better try and get back into this hobby. Very new to this so taking very small steps at present but this seemed a good oner to take first. Used to live in Surrey and purchased a Celestron Nexstar 5se from Astronomia about 4 years ago, sadly once they stopped their observing nights it took a back seat. Haven't really got round to using it much though but now that i am down in the SW of England and a good selection of dark sky at my disposal, perhaps nows a good time as any to try again. Happy Stargazing . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
