Hi Ellie, My husband is a major sky watcher!! He has just popped out but I will ask him for advice when he gets in. Sam x

Hello, I’ve just asked him and he advises on this one:- Skywatcher Star Travel Refractor (102 EQ1) £187.00 Best website to go on is First Light Optics. Hope this helps. Sam x

l see John Culshaw is taking over from Patrick Moore - The Sky at Night.

Hope you enjoy your new hobby Ellie - will it keep you away from the chocolate. Or will it be Milky Ways/Starbursts/ [can’t think of anymore]

hi sj

its not for me. between weakness and sight probs it not something i can envisage me being able to do. its for a christmas pressie for a gadget man but i dont want to ask him re it directly

re chocolate-i am on the curly wurly diet-one daily-have lost over 4 stone so its effective (thats my story and am sticking to it!) wonder if a star could be named after curly wurly lol
