Hello from Sheffield , UK
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2018 7:50 pm
I developed an interest in astronomy over three decades ago, but then the rest of life intervened and I had my 'nose to the grindstone' (as we say) rather than pointing to the stars... However, over the last few years, I have rekindled my interest in things astronomical and am taking advantage of an early retirement to 'spend more time with my telescope'. I rapidly caught the imaging bug (https://www.astrobin.com/users/keving/) but have become progressively more interested in spectroscopy. I am currently using an Altair Astro 10in Ritchy Chretien for the spectroscopy, mounted on a Mesu 200. I have an Alpy600 and a LhiresIII.
I regularly submit to the BAA database, and have started submitting to BeSS too. Skies in Sheffield are not always clear (that's British understatement, in case you didn't spot it
) but I do try and take advantage whenever possible. I am keen to explore as many target types as possible and become involved in data campaigns without spreading myself too thinly!
all the best
Kevin
