angusw2 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I joined this forum last year and didn't really post anything then. I don't know if I introduced myself at the time but as I'm starting to use this forum now I thought I'd better say hi. I have been interested in space and science since I was about 4 years old and got into astronomy in 1988 when I saw the Mars opposition at Sherwood Observatory through their 24" telescope. I served on their committee for a few years but took a more back seat role a few years ago. I have had a couple of 4" refractors over the years and have dipped my toe in the world of DSLR imaging, something I'd like to try more of. I'm committing myself to a 12" dob to try to do some dark site visual work so I hope to meet up with some of you guys in the future at Belper or wherever.

Doc Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Angus welcome to EMS. Join the darksite members section and have access to our two dark sites all for the paltry sum of £20 per year. We meet when it's clear which I know doesn't occur very much nowadays at our sites in Belper and Wymeswold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Angus and a warm welcome to EMS As above - it would be great to meet you at one of our dark sites. Do drop down for a free first visit and see what you think. Bring a scope by all means or just come and have a look through ours. Several of us have 12" 'ers, and there's a range of fracs, Sct's, Maks, and antiques. Keep your eye on Info and Announcements for EMS Meets - they can be arranged (or cancelled) at very short notice depending on weather. Meantime enjoy the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
