Welcome to my astronomy blog.
My name is John Dixon and I am a novice astronomer. My main telescope is a SkyWatcher Explorer 130P reflector, which I recently bought (April 09). I also have a 2-inch refractor, which my wife bought me a few years ago, and a couple of pairs of binoculars.
April isn’t a particularly good time of the year in which to get into astronomy as the nights are pretty light at this time of year. Anyway, I played around with the scope until the end of May, and then I had a couple of months off. It’s now August and I’m keen to get back out into the back garden to do a bit of star gazing.
I intend to use this blog as a way to record my viewing sessions. I’m not an expert, so I’ll probably say a few, or a lot, of stupid things. But that doesn’t matter – it’s all just a bit of fun!
