Stars / Astronomy / Astrophotography / Telescopes / Astro

Saw this thread pop up last night and thought… he’s gone all in straight away! Read back and confirmed it lol.

Am I not famed for stewing on something for years, researching the hell out of it and then going all in and straight to the destination?

I could've easily bought several cheaper things and other cludges on the path, over years, but life is short, opportunity to stargaze limited, my time is valuable... may as well spend the time and money now just getting to the destination I want, and then having high quality experiences and enjoying it all more for it :)

All of this because, three years ago I moved to a dark sky site, half way up The Long Mynd, in Shropshire. It’s the perfect place to enjoy what little clear skies we have. If you wana come hang out for a weekend we have an apartment for guests

Well I will 100% take you up on that as the nights draw in more. I'd actually booked a glamping thing in a dark sky site in Wales for a few nights in September and I hope the weather favours me. But yes... I can't help now look for houses, fields, farms, and mountains to buy in that kinda area... researching for a few years time when I'd be more willing to make the leap. Would love to come and stay, stargaze, catch up, and also see the area.
