Hello from Kent

[Emz]

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to join but here I am at last I'm Emily, I work at Astronomy Now magazine and also run the Young Stargazers section of the SPA. Despite that I'm ashamed to say that I'm only just getting back into "proper" astronomy, ie actually going outside with a telescope, but thanks to a little(!) encouragement and inspiration from the likes of Richie Jarvis & Nick Howes I have just bought a Canon 10D and unearthed my 4-inch refractor from the shed, and am contemplating various other items to add to my fleet, and I'm really excited about looking at all the stuff I read and write about all day :D:D I've even been persuaded to come to the Salisbury star party, which will be the first time I've been to a star party (nervous and excited)!! I look forward to meeting some of you there and learning lots of new stuff on here too
