[Dan13]

Hi, ive just joined.

Many thanks for the very warm welcome seems a great forum ive found. I started viewing through an 8 inch dob roughly 3 months ago but found i like the photography side. i switched my gear out and have been and following guides the last 3 weeks.

Here are my first attempts at M42 and M81/82.

Not a million miles away, I would say lets meet up for a session but we might get arrested.😷

I did find what looks to be a fairly dark site at Thursley Common, park up at The Moat Carpark then follow the dragonfly trail to the dragonfly sculpture and up the hill. Pretty decent clear views all round.

Only camera shop I know is London Camera Exchange in Guildford, even if they had one they would be closed.

Just tried Ebay and there is a seller Optics-land in London, don't know if you can still collect though.
