Hi everyone, quick introduction,

Im James and live on Dartmoor (luckly). During the first lockdown the ISS pass and starlink it rekindled a childhood dream of being a astronaught. 

Im currently using celestion binoculars and have just tried taking photos on my phone through the binoculars.

I think ive started a hoby that will keep my bank balance low 🤣.

Hello and welcome! Binoculars are good for starting and you can use them for something else as well. If you want to buy a telescope later on, it will complement it. Unfortunately, astronomy is a passion as beautiful as it is expensive.

Hi James, welcome to SGL  Dartmoor is a lovely dark place; you must have some wonderful views.

Welcome aboard SGL James, and welcome to astronomy. Good to have you with us.

Some of those photons of light that you see in your bins has been travelling for millions of years. It would be rude not to look at it. 😀
