Thanks Seanie and Stephen,

I'm looking forward to using the binos on a clear night and reading O'Meara's book when it is cloudy.
I'm really looking forward to getting back to basics in observing, having spent all my time CCD imaging in the last few years for a research degree..
I also like to thank everyone who voted.
Brendan, I have more images, mainly galaxies and nebulae. However, 99 per cent of my images in the few years, which is about 6k are all rather boring star fields.

Eamonn

Well done Eamonn !

Well done Eamonn, superb image !!
And I thought my scope was big !!
