Blogging about amateur astronomy
By James
My name is James Whinfrey and I’m in my third year of amateur astronomy in the UK where it’s wet and cloudy.
I’m not sure why I started, other than the first BBC Stargazing Live, but I’m very glad I did, and I’m hoping I can convince others to have a go too.
I’ve progressed from clueless staring into an eye piece to moderately more-knowledge-than-none and a member of several organisations including a local astro society in Northampton.
I love observing double and variable stars – of which I regularly submit observations – and I’ve several new projects lined up for this year.
And for a first post my choice of title tells the story.
