Hi from Locked Down Teesside

[Reddeviluk]

Hi All, middle aged Man from Teesside here.  ALways been facinated with the stars and recently found myself watching more and more YouTube videos, reading articles and thinking that I might be heading for a mid-life crisis, rather than buying a sports car (which I can't afford), I'm thinking that a telescope might be more appropriate.

Joined up in the hopes of hints and tips and also possibly finding a used, beginner scope from someone who's upgrading.

Thanks for existing and offering any tips etc.

Hi Rich, welcome to SGL

Hi and welcome to SGL. You have come to the right place for help and advice, and the classified ads section will no doubt prove useful in your search for a second hand scope.

I used to work in Teesside, the North York Moors visitor centre at Sutton Bank is a great dark site.

Welcome. Hope you have lots of fun - that’s the point - on your journey. 🙂

Can't think of a better way to go through your mid-life crisis :). Enjoy it and welcome.
