Title: Hello from Peterborough
Post by: NigelG on Jul 05, 2012, 20:10:43
Good evening,
My name is Nigel Garner, I am a member of Peterborough Astronomical Society. I bought my first telescope about 4 years ago, since then the number of scopes and cameras have increased. Two years ago my wife persuaded me to invest in an Alexanders observatory.
For the last 3 years I have enjoyed attending Kelling in the Spring and Autumn. For the last 2 years I have been visting Rother Valley Caravan site, but due to work I was unable to meet up with any of you at your Deep Space Camp.
Looking forward to meeting up either at Northiam or Kelling.

Nigel

Or maybe its the case that your wife also has an interest in astronomy?

Anyway, welcome to the forum, Nigel.
