Hello from North East England!
Hello to you!
I am not new to stargazing having spent many a fond hour looking at the skies however now after a recent change of circumstances I have decided to take this forward a little and get more serious into something that has held my attention for so long!
I have no equipment other than the standard MK1 Human eyeball and my wits. I can identify the basic constellations due to a decent education in scouting and am interested in all aspects of the cosmos local and beyond!
Thanks for reading my brief intro and here is to a valuable resource for me and some light entertainment for you!

No equipment list - I made my first star trail image in 1949 and have collected too much gear to list ever since...

Re: Hello from North East England!
Cheers everyone for the warm welcome. Have any of the guys in the higher lattitudes in the UK get any aurora views last night? I cracked that nut and was chuffed to observe a Meteor and subject to discussion with the local BBC weatherlady my first possible Meteorite obs. All in all I had a good night!
Clear skies to the lot of you too!
