Why I've Been off the radar for a while

I just packed the scope away after its first outing in probably 13 months.

Took a while to remember how it all goes together.

I've had some mental health issues that have stopped me even wanting to use the scope, but with appropriate treatment and support I'm starting to feel my old self again. I didn't realise how real this sickness can be. I'll be a lot more sympathetic to sufferers in future. Unfortunately the medication can be just as debilitating as the disease. Hopefully won't fall into that black hole again.

My message is Don't feel embarrassed asking for help, the alternative is unspeakable.

On a brighter note, even though the skies were far from ideal, I got some nice views of Mars tonight.

Stay safe, Look up!
