+Glafnazur Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi, everyone. My name's Dave and I live in Derby. I have been interested in astronomy since reading the Ladybird book The Night Sky far too many years ago now. I've had various cheap scopes and binoculars over my life but finally got a decent scope (an Orion Optics 8" Europa) around 20 years ago. Since then I've added a few scopes and sold a few. After years of visual observing I am now taking my first tentative steps into the realms of astrophotography. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Derbyshire Dave Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Welcome to the forum Dave. Difficult times obviously, but this is great place to get involved in astronomy, meet people, and visit our dark sky sites. Where about are you in Derby?

The skies aren't aren't too bad but light pollution has definitely worsened over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
