Hello From Hainault - Essex

[v1ks]

Hi All,

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year in Adv. 

New to the forums and hobby, lots of detailed information on the forums which is always great for new joiners like me. 

Yet to purchase a scope, still researching on what one to get as my son (9) and daughter (5) are keen too. I have had few suggestion from FLO so will be checking them out.

Hi and a warm welcome to SGL . You've already started well by doing some research . Think about what you want to see in the night sky .. ie planets/Moon and double stars or deep sky objects , that might narrow the search down a bit . Good luck and clear skies

Welcome!

Welcome. Loughton Astro society who meet in Theydon bois run talks and observing and could be worth joining. Escaping further into Essex should provide some better skies.
