Im a roofer from stoke-on-trent, England. I studied astronomy and planetary science at university and have been an avid stargazer and fascinated by all space related things since an early age.
At 44, i am settled with my own home and family and am now helping my children learn about space. Currently i have a celestron 3 inch refractor but used to own a Tal2M 6 inch reflector, arguably the best and most sturdy telescope i have ever used and hope soon to invest in some serious gear.
