I'm back, and hopefully for a long stay. I've had a bad time health wise, plagued with a number of problems.

Thank you Pete.  I do remember you at that Fest.  Great site for Astronomy Lucksall.
I enjoyed all the meets SGL had there, very enjoyable and I  would enjoy another trip there for sure.
It's a fairly long drive from Carlisle. I'm a bit older now though, and I would need to assess my ability to
get there and back in one piece 😀.

Old age is something i am beginning to consider more and more, even in Astronomy. I have been thinking of a larger aperture planetary scope for a while, but the simple weight puts me off a bit even now, but more so for the future.

Welcome back Ron, pleasure to see you returned and rebuilt.
Knee replacement lies in my future so always good to see folks doing ok afterwards.

Any lay off let’s us forget things and things move on, it’s not you at all.

Thank you Alan, it's great to be back to SGL again.
