Hi Guys,


 


Just re-kindling my childhood obsession with stargazing, I have a 4" refractor and a 8" reflector (it needs some restoration). Got my first scope in 30 years from Santa, loving it apart from the clouds.

Welcome to EMS John!


 


This could get confusing, you are the second person in Nottingham that I am aware of with that name! (John England)


 


If restoration is your thing, Phil on here is a master at it. :D

Hi John and welcome to EMS.


 


Good to have you on board, any questions just fire away in the relevant section.

Hi John, a warm welcome to the forum.


 


As mentioned, feel free to ask any questions.


We also have two dark sites, one at Belper, and one at Wymeswold. The first visit is free, to see if it suits your needs, and then the bargain price of twenty pounds a year.


This gives you pretty much free access, but as they are cricket clubs, they have right of way.


Keep an eye on the announcements section, as they can be posted/cancelled at short notice, mostly due to the weather.


 


In the meantime, enjoy the forum. :)

Hi,


It's an old Helios 8" reflector, been in someones garage for 10 years, It's actually not in an overly bad condition now I have dismantled it and cleaned it all, bits missing off the tripod though. I will upload some photo's.
