Sky at Night Magazine

Hi all. Been interested in what's above years often looking up wondering what's what. Last few years occasionally using binocular but for Christmas received a sky watcher 130m. After setting it up and eagerly waiting for a clear night. we went out with the wide angle then once we got used to it we put the Barlow on and were surprised to see lines of colour on jupiter and 4 moons. Can't wait to get ...

Hi There.

I am brand new to astronomy... I always have had a massive interest in the skies, always pointing out stuff going on, but never owned a telescope until today.

My wife and daughter got me a Sky-Watcher pro series Skymax 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain for Christmas. but it did not come with a tripod. I need to sort that out soon, but cost will be a constraint, I will probably make myself a Dobsonian Telescope ...

Hi guys Jim here in Dunstable Bedfordshire, i have been enjoying the site for a few days now decided it was time to say Hello, So A big hello from me (64yrs) and my four year old Grandson "Jay".

It is because of him that i am here on the forum, he is always asking things about the Moon, the stars well the skies, i have decided to either get a cheapish Refractor which he ...

Hello everybody, just wanted to say hello as I am new to this forum, and to astronomy! I wondered which forum to join, but hey, as I grew up with Patrick Moore (RIP) I couldn't really join any other!

After much research, I bought what I thought would be a scope I could use as a starter, but would last me a couple of years into the hobby if I actually got hooked. So I ...

Hi My name is Rudy, I finally decided to get myself a telescope as up until now i've only been using a wide angle and a 300mm lens, then a 500mm with a 2x tele and thought what the hell you only live once, so I got a telescope so I can see a little further than the moon. Needless to say I know very little about telescopes, still got to get a power supply ...

As a newly retired ex physics teacher with an interest in astronomy and time to learn more I am looking to buy my first telescope. What do I get??

Jon here from Manchester.

Been into astronomy for more years than I care to remember thanks to my old man.
I have a Celestron 76 at the minute which, due mainly to work and the good old Mancunian weather, has not seen much use of late but I am working to remedy that.

Having just started out in this I now realise how much I don't know about the subject. I have bought myself The Cambridge Star Atlas and still haven't got it sussed properly! Saying all that I do love looking at the night sky when the weather down here is clear and not actually raining, which at times doesn't feel very often. But we do get really quite dark nights with very little light pollution.

So now it is time to launch my Christmas page:
