Hi from West Midlands

[-chris-]

hi all,

I'm pretty much a newbie, I have a telescope but its just been sitting in the shed for the last few years gathering dust!

The recent "neowise" comet has got me thinking more about astronomy and I'm looking to get into the hobby  and learn how to use my telescope rather than let it go to waste just sitting on a shelf!

8 listed for W Midlands but if close to a county boundry check the neighbouring one(s).

Thanks for the warm welcome.

@fwm891 I envy your darker skies!

@PEMS Thanks for the clubs link, at the moment my nearest club is closed, but I shall look into it at a later date.
