Hello from Norfolk

[Sidney]

Hello all.

After much time spent stargazing with a pair of bino's i have recently took the plunge and bought myself a telescope.

I settled on a Celestron CPC 9.25 with a few goodies and am very impressed:D ( bank account not so happy tho!!!)

After having a look around the forum i thought it would be a good idea to join as you seem like a friendly bunch who are only too willing to help a newbie like me with any problems:)

Welcome ... that's not a bad first scope at all

I'm sure it will be worth every penny and that you'll have a great time with it.

Hi Sidney,

Welcome....

I'm also from sunny Norfolk. Nice scope you have there

Cheers

Welcome aboard, Sidney. I reckon some parts of Norfolk get the least polluted skies in the southern half of England. Enjoy - Hugh.

Hi Sidney and welcome to SGL . As mentioned, where you live is reckoned to be one of the best places to observe from. Are you off to Kelling in the Autumn ?

I love Norfolk, used to have a static caravan at Heachem many years ago.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

I would like to get to Kelling in the Autumn, work permitting!!

You're right, we do have nice dark skies around here ( not a street light for miles around :-) )

Welcome to the Forum Sidney. If you cant get a spot at Kelling Heath, try and visit on the Saturday, trade stands, raffles, talks and a group of SGL will be on the Blue field. We would love too see you.

Hello and welcome

Just got back from wells next the sea. Camped at a dark site near Warham and had two great nights obseving.

Norfolk is truly beautiful, the skies are big!

Welcome to the forums!

If you find any good observation sites around the south Norfolk area I'd love to know.

I think some areas around Thetford forrest would probably be OK, provided your not near the RAF bases, and are prepared to look straight up
