The last time I joined a society was the Junior Astronomical Society.
I have returned to Astronomy now I have retired (at 60), and just bought a couple of scopes (I am NOT rich, but I don't smoke and rarely drink).
Have been a single father of three disabled sons now I can enjoy my hobby again.
I have just received my first Observing guide, Journal and info pack
I am Autistic, Aspergers (many will think that makes me a jibbering wreck in a wheel chair, it does not), what I do hate is READING, I find it boring, hard to sustain, but I take my hat off, to whoever designs and works on your magazines.
They are MOST interesting, and great to look at AND read, I wish the other magazines on the market could learn from you.
My other purchasem, mint, pre owned, Ebay (I had one sold it last year, boob, re bought), with Lunt eyepiece £590
