Hi All,

Just joined Stargazers and thought I would introduce myself. My parents called me Scott and I have been on this beautiful planet now for 44 years. I love intellectual converstaion and deliberating questions about the cosmos that most of the time I do not understand myself, yet feel I am growing as a human being by just asking or questioning. I am hoping to learn lots and lots from the amazing learned collection of folks on here and from the knowledge seekers like myself.

Take care everyone and look forward to having my questions answered and being pointed in the right direction.

Scott

Welcome Scott. Have you checked out the science section further down? This often brings up some fascinating discussions.

If and when you decide to start with any equipment, pick the brains of some very experienced members here, and ask anything, however basic it may seem.

Good luck

Jason

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome, to what seems like a lovely forum. @ danile, I will be asking questions about a scope soon, as I have talked my partner into allowing me to have one for xmas but with caviates! As with everything that needs the boss' permission there are rules! probably the same requests of information I will need have been given a 1000 times on here regarding the best scope, power with a budget, size limits, ease of use for a novice etc etc

@jason, I will be checking out the science section asap, so much too read and take in on here its troubling where to begin! @swag, I dont believe that and thanks.

Cheers everyone. made my day.

Scott

Thank you, what a friendly bunch! I have put on my first post about what type of scope to purchase, so when a drama unfolds up there that makes the news and I am down here, I can participate in wonder, instead of waiting for a 30 second newsreel from the BBC.

Loving it on here already.

Hi Scott and welcome to SGL. For your observing you can take the steady route, by purchasing binoculars and learn the night sky, this has much going for it as you can observe and learn,  which will probably give you some idea, in a short space of time, of what scope would suit you purposes, or, you can take the fast route and dive headlong into the "which scope" syndrome. As they say the choice is yours, but whatever you do, enjoy your Astronomy :)
