Hello from Mid Sussex

[RobB]

Hi,

I've been away from Astronomy since 2000 (change of job, house and new son!). The tall Trees to the south have now died so I'm looking at dusting off the 10" LX200 Classic and permanently mounting it.

Back last century I was the editor for the Worthing Astronomical society WASNews newsletter. Also did a stint as the FAS newsletter editor.

Looking for a more local group to join and help distract my 9 year old from the dreaded XBox!

Hi and welcome to SGL

My son's 8 years old and I finally dragged him away from his xbox. His joined the local football team so I'm very pleased.

Hello Rob and welcome to SGL and back to astronomy. How did you manage to kill the trees? I've got a few round me that I'd like to get rid off:evil6:

Cheers everyone

Thanks to your warm welcomes I had to go out and buy another scope over the weekend... a Revelation 100mm Apochromatic Refractor.:)

Now trying to decide if the Vixen GP mount I had is up to the job or do I go back and get the EQ6 PRO Skyscan mount I saw
