    @Dave In Vermont , your "recruiter" in chief is responsible for this !!

    Having met on another "Forum" he spread the word about Astronomy Connect. So here we are... I say "we" as my wife Susie is as keen as I am. Although relatively new to understanding the stars above us (we bought our first telescope back in November 2016) we're quick learners...

    We're lucky enough to be able to observe from our garden, or a field just behind it, under pretty good rural skies. However, we've also packed a little ED 'frac into our rucksack as we've flown off to dark sky reserves in Namibia and the Canary Islands off Morocco.

    So; hello from us to you...

    Well Mak - I warned you! I'm sure Pid is hearing a little 'bell' ringing...
