Hello from Berkshire

[Alex_]

Hi Everyone, 

I've just been gifted a Nexstar 8 SE for my 40th and have tried to make the most of the last two clear nights! Lots to learn and I suspect buy. Thanks to all those that post as I've been reading avidly for the past week, and thanks in advance for the future questions coming your way!

Hi @Alex_ and welcome to SGL. 

I am also from the Royal County 

There are a few astro clubs/societies across the county and neighbouring counties too within easy driving distance.

Welcome to the forum @Alex_. I’m Berkshire born and bred, lived in Wokingham for years, went to school in Bracknell.

That’s a lovely scope you have there, I’m sure you will have a lot of fun with it. Ask away in the help and advice forum if you need anything.

That's a welcome reminder to sign up to Reading as it's my closest one!

Wow, surprisingly high number of fellow Berkshirians here.
