I think you will find that 50 is about the average age of the members on here.

But not me

Hi and welcome to the group

Trouble is you can't afford all the kit before yur 50 - then when you can afford it you can't lift it any more lol

[Dandobi]

Welcome micp. Never too late and as someone a little younger I can tell you I'm looking forward to 50. My kids will move out and I may get 5 mins to myself!

Good luck!

Hi and welcome from me too.

Age is irrelevant when looking at the universe, to the stars, we're all babies really, (I for one certainly act like one - so I've been told ) I would also add that astronomy is one of those interests that everyone can enjoy, at the same time, in the same place and at the same level- awareness and enthusiasm has no time limits.

Hello and welcome!

You won't regret it.

I was 49 when I bought my first scope and I've never looked back, just up.

Hi and welcome, and by the way some of us are only 50 at heart but physically still much younger :-)
