Hello, I'm new here. 😊

[MiladyB]

Hi everyone,

I've spent so long reading people's equipment reviews and suchlike on here for the last few weeks I decided I should sign up.

I'm a rank amateur when it comes to using a telescope for astronomy, having only used a small refractor (without much success) many years ago, but I've been a keen comet and meteor watcher, and avid moon-gazer for decades.

I'm currently reading Turn Left at Orion and Collins Stargazing: A Beginner's Guide to Astronomy, since telescopes are rarer than unicorns in the shops right now. I intend to buy a decent scope and mount for visual observing and some basic astrophotography once I have a better idea of exactly what equipment would suit me within my budget.

Wishing you all clear skies!

MB
