markie Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hi everyone I've just joined the site, looks really good, I've had a few telescopes over the years, I've got an 8" reflector Fullerscope on it's original eq mount, it's solid as a rock, I also have a Bresser 10" dob, very, very good. I love the astro photo's, took some good pics of the moon but deep sky objects are out of my league, I'm always looking for advice and admire people who can do these photo's. Look forward to taking a tour of the site Markie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markie Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hi Terry Small world, I was born and bred in Lower Broughton, Salford, then moved to Little Hulton mid 80s, then Walkden 2005. I know Ellesmere Park. What was the name of that big pub at the top of Lancaster Rd that's sadly now gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I can’t remember the name of the pub and last went in it back in the early 90s but it is now flats. I think it was part of the Beefeater chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
