Hi from sunny (usually) Forres

[A McEwan]

Oh no - he's found me! Am I not safe anywhere...?!?!

Don't worry - he's harmless enough really, aren't you Bill? I must say welcome to SGL (or I'd be kicked off) so have a blast here! I see you're already doing your PST PR stint... Show them some of your pictures....

[billinforres]

I wasn't looking for you Antony, you tripped over me!

Now you have found me, don't try to sell me anything!!!

Website URL should now be in signature if anyone wants to see my pathetic attempts at imaging the Sun and the Moon.

Hi Bill and welcome. Even more so because you know physics. Would it be possible for me to pick your brains on a perpetual motion idea i have had ?

[blacksaltire]

Try my best Bill ! The H.A.S. obsy is just up the hill from my mother ! take care !

[Space Beagle]

Hello and welcome Bill, sounds like you bring quite a large font of knowledge and experience with you to the forum! You'll be popular for answering questions from us relative newbies to this hobby! ('Hobby' is probably the wrong word!).

Hi Bill and welcome to SGL.

Bill,

My Wife and myself are thinking about caravaning around forres adn nairn. Do you dark skies there?

Thanks

Michael

[billinforres]

Michael,

There are lots of dark sites around here, you just have to go away from the streetlights. We won't have truly dark skies until the last week in August.

Drop in on HAS on the first Tuesday of the month or Sigma on the first Friday.

Sigma has a fantastic dark site.

Bill

[Michael Rapley]

thanks for that Bill, thats around the time we were thinking. I'll look into HAS and Sigma

Thanks

Michael

Hello from me and welcome to SGL!

[Euan]

Hi Bill, nice to see you on SGL

How is the wheelie bin working out for you?

[billinforres]

Hi Euan,

Sent you a PM.

And no, I don't live in a wheelie bin.

I built a mini observatory based on a B&Q box for storing a pair of wheelie bins.

Bill
