Hi all, I'm Tony.

I've been interested in astronomy for as long as i can remember, but have only recently been able to afford to buy a decent beginners scope.

Mid last year one of my kids started showing interest in space through school, so i decided to buy them a telescope for Christmas.

Against my better judgment i bought a refractor from Toys'R'Us. Well the thing broke before we could get to use it, so i returned it and bit the bullet and bought a decent scope.

Saxon 1309 EQMS to be exact. We've had a lot of cloudy nights here in Melbourne, so have had limited time on it.

But we have seen the craters on the moon, jupiter and its moons, orions nebula, and the kids think its cool. 

I would like to go out to a dark site though, as the light pollution makes it hard to make things out.

I hope to get better at finding stuff out there.

Cheers.

Hi and welcome to the lounge,

nice to hear your kids are enjoying the scope, my grandson

get to see more, but if they are like my grandson his passion

is the Moon.

Good Luck and Clear Sky's
