Star gazing groups
Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 5:12 pm
Hi all
Joined the group literally about an hour back . Am new to the whole field of astronomy / star gazing but am fascinated with it . Last 2 weeks have been reading all about telescopes / Binoculars/ the skies etc and have spent the last hour reading various posts in this forum
Firstly must thank the creators of this forum and its various members , so good to see the level of knowledge and collective experience of everybody and am glad I joined this group . Reading everything I have concluded that before I jump into buying anything I should have a first hand experience , get a look and feel of the Binos / telescopes , interact with the people to really understand .
In this respect wanted to know if there are any gatherings where I can join and get a first hand experience of talking to to members , maybe use their equipment to Sky gaze . I have never used a telescope . I know science centre has every Friday at 7.45 pm a session which I do plan to go this week or next but any other session where other experienced members of this group gather for will be great . I stay on Farrer Road .
My apologies for such elementary questions and thanks for having me in this group
Regards
Akash
