Hey,

SPA's version of Club 18 - 30

Worry not, past that now, but my kids can join in. They used to help me out when attempting imaging. Laptop sorted that.

You may need a few oldies to keep yea in check

Hey. I'm 24 and have been an active amateur astronomer since I started University back in 2003. I've got a couple of telescopes myself and have had experience with a fair few others, from Dobs to GoTos and other computer controlled variations. I'm happy to help out if you have any questions. See my website for more info on my astronomical interests, observing logs etc.

Does it really matter what age you are? Surely it's the passion for astronomy that counts.

Hi,
Totally agree...I am 15 going on for 53

The experience of the older members of this forum (that was meant in all respect) really helps the newcomers.

As orson said, it"s the passion for astronomy that counts.
