Hi everyone.

First post. Been browsing for a while. Just bought my first telescope - skywatcher 200p 8" dobsonian.

My garden is pretty dark but ill be looking to venture out soon. Can anyone advise me where the best viewing locations around merseyside are. I live in litherland, sefton.

Kind regards

Leigh

Hi Leigh, there are no real good sights around merseyside due to light pollution, we tend to go to North Wales weather permitting, the best I can suggest is to drive around, maybe into Lancashire and see if you can find anywhere suitable,
have a look at this website http://www.britastro.org/dark-skies/bestukastrolocation.html
cheers
