AndyBooth Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) 60 year old long term practical observer since my early teens. Originally from yorkshire, started with the usual 60mm japanese refractor in the late 70’s. Originally trained as a mechanical engineer. Now use a 11”SCT for visual, and solar system imaging, and an RC8 for deep-sky imaging. I retired a couple of years ago to look after my ill wife, so plenty of observing time on my hands now.

rwillits Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Ill wives do not always give you lots of extra time. They do make us better time managers. Astronomy is great. You can be interrupted any time and the night is usually like free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
