Hello

Postby Tim » Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:24 pm

My name is Tim and I live in the centre of the country in Coventry.

I have been dipping my toes into astrophotography for around two years now, and am just about to complete a home made observatory with warm room in my garden. Already having a permanent pier to work from is helping enormously, and despite my earlier reservations, I now think AP is a hobby I will stick to, with the aim of improving my pics. That's where you guys come in :D Roger has already been of immense help as I started out, and many other members too.

Cheers

Tim

Well I never, if it isn't the Tim who once parked his caravan next to mine at Kelling Heath, and then across the field from me at Mordiford ;-)

welcome to the club Tim. Sounds as if you post somewhere else under an alias that everyone knows except me. grin01
