New gazer in Manchester

[BlueAstra]

Hello. I'm new to the hobby and located in Manchester. Not exactly the darkest location in England, but I have a reasonable view to the south. Seen some amazing clusters in my first few sessions. Would like to learn more about the techniques, especially photography eventually. Time to climb the learning curve!

Hello BlueAstra.

I live in Manchester too. I often (if weather allows) go to Peak District for stargazing

Do you observe from home or do you go somewhere out as well ?

At the moment it just the back garden. A few street lights, but a good view W-S-E. Just got my first view of Saturn and was amazed!

I went to the Telescope&bino shop in Stockport to get my telescope at Christmas. Already been back for a x3 Barlow and red dot finder!

BlueAstra,

You've only been back once! :-) Give it time.

Saturn is very majestic at the moment,as is Venus. We are all waiting for the rings to open again.

Clear Skies.

Hi BlueAstra,

A warm welcome to SGL. Climb the learning curve, but first and foremost enjoy it, and if you get stuck use those three little letters ASK.

Regds,

John.
