Hi Steve,

Birmingham is at least well-placed for zipping over towards Shropshire or Derbyshire if the forecast is good.

Welcome and have fun. Only one thing, though; don't ask this lot to talk you out of spending money. I relied on them to help me NOT spend three grand on a scope the size of a bean tin and they dropped me right in it. It's ordered. Gulp.

Olly

Hi Steve.

I live next door in Coventry, so I feel your pain about the skies! I can see very little visually, but have found that using a camera on my telescope I get to see what is really up there. You can see my pics taken from Coventry in the Imaging - Deep Sky section of the board. I'll be happy to share any tips or help that I can.

Welcome to SGL.
