Hi, and welcome Carla

I'm up in Staffordshire on the very edge of Stoke, and the sky is probably better for me here than for a lot of people in cities.

I have thought of heading out into Shropshire for viewing though, as I reckon the skies must be darker out in the countryside that way

Nice to meet you all! Does anyone here attend the Shropshire Astronomy group I've found on the net?

Starryeyes, We were walking up the Long Mynd on Thursday and I thought then it might be a great place to bring my scope at night...I've been on the look out for some good places as I'm pretty limited to South/East skies in my back garden..

Hi Carla

The next meeting of the Shropshire Astronomical society is this Saturday at Rodington Village Hall.

Starts at 8 pm.

Come along and have a look at us.

You will be very welcome.

Hope to see you there

Hi Carla from me

[Carla]

Thanks Graham, I've already looked up Rodington on the map. Unfortunately I cant make this Saturday due to other commitments. However, I thought I might come along in February, if work commitments allow. Is the first meeting in Feb at a caravan site on the welshpool road?

Hi Carla

Yes it appears that the first Feb meeting is on Feb 12th at Ford.

I have never been to the Ford observing site as i usually go to the Rodington meetings.

I believe it is geared up so that if you are principally a Lunar obsever then the Ford meetings are always around about first quarter moon phase.

The Rodington meetings are more geared up for DSO observing when there is no moon about.

Hello Carla, welcome to the forum. I bet you've got some great dark skies to observe from (he says jealously )
