Hi everyone, just a few lines to introduce myself.

I've been interested in astronomy for as long as I can remember and am a member of the BAA of several decades standing.

More recently I have joined the OAS, having attended several meetings and been very impressed with what they are doing.

I have several 'scopes and have now aquired an Imaging Source camera so I'm hoping to upload a few images once they are good enough.

Nice one. Welcome to the OAS.

Please introduce yourself at the next meeting.

It may take some time - last night I had real problems just finding the target and getting some sort of focus! :lol:

Hi Phil. Take the bull by the horns & introduce yourself next time
It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

Fay, we don't do the bull/horn thing until we've decided a new member needs to be properly initiated. Beside, that's a DSC activity, High Elms take a dim view of large livestock being brought into BEECHE...
