Dave61 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hello everyone, just joined a few minutes ago. My name is Dave and I live on the sunny South Coast here in the UK with my wife and our dog Susie. As a child I would always look up at the sky and loved to just look at the stars and moon but the one thing that blew me away was Orion my favourite and more so when I first saw it through a pair of binoculars and witnessed the nebula. So I got my self a celestron travel scope 70 just to look at the moon, and today my Firstscope signature series was delivered. I have a great love of photography. I have many books on astronomy and one on how to look at the moon with binoculars as I have a pair of 7x50 that I love looking at the moon with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough having travelled all over the world with my work and holidays in Uk and abroad until last year I had never spent a holiday on the south coast (except Torquay) until last year when Covid stopped my holidays to Spain so we booked a cottage near to Battle for a week and realised what we were missing. Yes it was Sunny, all week, the skies were dark so took the astro gear and we had a great week, returning in September again this year. Took my sons dog and he loved the walks and especially the beaches, some of then were so quiet it was great. One good thing to come out of the covid situation for us anyway.
