Hi,
I have just registered on the site.

I built an 8 1/2 inch reflector some 30 years ago.

Next job ...

I'm from Nottingham in the UK, a keen amateur astronomer as well as photography enthusiast and part time Open University student. I'm studying the Natural Sciences qualification but haven't yet decided which pathway to follow ...
