Hope you don't mind the invasion I'm a big fan of the Shed and thought I'd pop on to say Hi

Cheers

Thanks guys

Craig. Good luck with the weather. I had a week in Callander last month mostly good weather but snow on the tops stopped some hill walking. Was staying at lochend log cabins at lake of mentieth. A great dark site with amazing views of Ben lomond in the distance at the end of the lake (yes we have a lake in Scotland) got talking to the owners and they are going to put in some facilities for skywatchers :-)

Here's a photo

Hi Tom and welcome to EMS.

Looks like you have some cracking views up there!

I have family up in Elgin, I know how dark the skies can get up there.

Enjoy the forum!

Hi Tom and welcome on board EMS :)

We stayed in Spean Bridge a couple of years ago - couldn't believe the skies - could see the Milky Way so easily and there were so many stars we couldn't make out the main constellations. :)

Funny that I grew up seeing the milky way all the time. I found it odd when people say they can't see it. Have to say its changed a bit even here. Damn street lights they put as much light into the sky as they put on the road. They should be banned like 100watt bulbs were

Hi Tom, a warm welcome to EMS.

We stayed near Fort William a few years ago, and I got sun burnt up Anoch Mor. Beautiful country.

Enjoy the forum.

Hi Tom,

welcome to EMS. My annual haunt is Strathconon!! Love the skies and the isolation, 17 miles down a track off a road!

Slange.
