Hi from Gloucester

Hi gazza and welcome to SGL I'm from Gloucestershire too. The local astronomy society is called the Cotswold Astronomy Society and they hold meetings at Shurdington Village hall the second Saturday of each month 7.45 to 10.00pm. It can often be helpful to visit groups like these to see telescopes used by other members and get hands on advice.

Regards

Thanks I live in coleford and it would take me 48 mins to get to your location

thats over 1 1/2 hrs round trip might be a bit to far to come but I will look out for any special events that may be on
