Hello, from Wimborne, Dorset

[AstroKriss]

Hi Folks, finally got around to joining SGL, and long overdue I think. 

I'm an amateur astrophotographer based in Wimborne, Dorset. Have been cursing the clouds and bad weather for about 3 years since I got my first proper setup, but with a life long stargazer with interest in space and the stars. 

Im currently in the process of building my own observatory in my back garden, with no plan or experience but it's gone quite well so far. Will share a blog link once I collate all my progress photos and do a write up. 

In the mean time you can take a look at some of my images on Instagram https://instagram.com/krissbennett or on Astrobin - https://www.astrobin.com/users/krissbennett/

Looking forward to joining in with the SGL folks.
