Hi all.

I've been gazing upwards for 50 years. Unaided.

Had a scope for Xmas aged 7 but could see more without it.

Then I wrote to the Astronomical Society asking how I could become an astronaut and received literature designed for someone studying for a Masters in Astrophysics!

Anyway, despite that inauspicious start, a clear night still fills me with awe and wonder so now I intend to buy a scope that will make up for years of frustration.

I'll be seeking lots of advice so be prepared!

I'm planning to visit the Astro-event at Glyndwr Uni tomorrow night for a chance to try out a telescope or two, hopefully.

Thanks for listening!:icon_eek:

Andy

Hi Andy and welcome to the forum.

Would always recommend beginners look through some kit first to get a measure of how they may best manage their expectations - so you're off to a good start.

Please come back with any questions that might arise from your visit.

Clear skies and never stop looking upwards!

James

Hi Andy,

Welcome to the forum, it's a great place for info on all aspects astronomy. You might like to find out if you have a local Astronomy Society and go along to one of their outdoor meetings. Astronomers are friendly folk and usually love to show people their scopes.

You've got another addition to the Wrexham astro-brigade here...well, Llay anyway! Just joined the forum after many years of being an inactive amateur...just getting back into it all, it's been too long! Bought myself a 10" Skywatcher goto Dob a few weeks back, so am just waiting for some clear skies now! I'd be up for any viewing nights organised in the Wrexham/Chester/North Wales area, some of those hills are very dark! Chris
