What's your name? Introduce yourself to IFAS!

Oh, apologies, hahaha. I thought by your message you are from wales but moved over here. Well still, if you have any questions or want to get involved in any discussions, work away. Glad to have you aboard.

Какие слова... супер, отличная мысль

Greetings all,

I've always had an interest in astronomy but have only recently decided to take the plunge by purchasing my first scope, a Celestron 127 SLT. I've been doing some observing from my back garden (based in Wicklow Town) over the last couple of weeks. Luckily there have been a few clear nights where I've observed the moon and a number of clusters and double stars. Hoping to make it out to somewhere with less light pollution over the next few weeks. Got my first glimpse of a blurry Andromeda last night and I'm hungry to see more

Hi Derek and welcome.
There is a get together at the Sugarloaf car park on Friday night at 8.  Why not come along and meet some people.

Hi Derek and welcome to IFAS. Nice scope you have there and I hope you get pleanty of opportunities to get out and use it! I see the Dublin guys have already invited you up to the Sugarloaf - there's some good skies up that way when the weather plays ball and you should be able to get great advice too!

Enjoy the forum and keep us posted as to how you get on!

Clear skies,

Paul.

Thank you lunartic and Paul,

I might not make this Friday due to work commitments but I will keep a close eye on the forums for the next meet up at the sugarloaf and will certainly keep that free
