The Liverpool Astronomical Society

Hi All,
       I have had an interest in astronomy for as long as I can remember, unfortuantely life has just gotten in the way as it has the habbit of doing. I am going to make a concerted effort to come to a few of your weekly meetings at the visitor centre and the monthly ones also, when I can fit it in. I notice you have one on Friday 21st Sept unfortunately I have other plans that night, but I hope to  come along and see how things work shortly.
      Whilst I have your attention in reading this post, what would be the best telescope "per buck" so to speak for a novice ,im told a refractor over a reflector ? any advice greatly appreciated.

I have often pondered about visiting your observatory and maybe joining your society. My knowledge of the subject isnt great although my enthusiasm for it is. I googled your website and whilst browsing it noticed you had an astrophotography section, unfortunately it is empty. It would be great if it was populated with images from your 12" meade or even those captured by your members.
