Hello from Dorset

[Scubadude]

Hi All,

Have recently moved to Dorset from London and loving the dark skies! My "toy" telescope from youth didn't travel well so picked up 2nd hand Tal-1M to see what potential my new location might hold.

Been enjoying some simple views while getting to grips with it- Moon, Jupiter and earlier in the year Saturn.

Now the nights are drawing in am thinking seriously about getting abit more organised so found this forum while surfing around and after abit of lurking joined up.

Will go back to reading now but looking forward to learning more.
