Hello there - About a year ago I took up astronomy again having been fascinated as a youngster. That early interest got me interested in science and led on to a science based career. I couldn't afford a telescope back then but when I recently retired it suddenly occurred to me that I could now buy some equipment and I have the time to do some astronomy. I have a 200 mm SkyWatcher Newtonian and am learning both the joys and frustrations of astrophotography. South Oxfordshire is not the best place for viewing from a light pollution point of view, but what the heck I'm enjoying it anyway. I hope to get discussing things astronomical with you soon. :):)

Hi there!

It's worth joining the Abingdon Astro society if you haven't already - regular talks and club observing evenings at dark sites (although this week's looks to be a write off due to the weather :) )

Hi Ouroboros and welcome to the forum.

8" of scope will certainly help you find a lot of great objects to observe. Astrophotography or the "Dark Side" as it's sometimes known does have its frustrations but 'Picture Of The Week' clearly demonstrates what can be achieved!
