I live on the Somerset  Dorset border in a small town with reasonably dark skies with my wife and kids. I became interested in astronomy 25 years ago but consider myself just post beginner because I have just rekindles that interest aftwer several years away. Ive cleaned out the observatory and cleaned up my scopes and am very much enjoying rediscovering the joys of sleep deprivation and late nights! I use a selection of scopes and mounts but favour ioptron mounts and am currently rediscovering a 11 inch form mount sct for visual use. I am also interested in Photography including film and I collect stamps of the Falkland Isles where I visit with work from time to time. I love to read especially Tolkien whose writing I have loved for 45 years!. I like good food, whisky (in small doses) and good red wine. 

I am hoping to make some friends and share my journey with you.

Hi Ross!

Dorset seems lovely but I've never been to the south (unless we count a weekend in London). I've only travelled in the north so far but maybe one day smile
Seems like you have some good stuff laying about! Great that you've re-found the interest too, how's the weather conditions in Dorset?
I got a small newt when I was a kid but never really learned how to use it (still have it though) and I just got into the astrophotography bit a couple of years ago. I've been doing photography for a number of years prior. It's quite amazing what we can do and how readily available it actually is nowadays.

Looking forward to seeing your results!
