Hi from Down Under

[MarkJ44]

Hi all

New to the skies but have always  wanted to get a scope and start the journey. this came to fruition at xmas when i got my first scope, a Celestron 5SE. I think the collection might grow!!. A few teething problems but the wins along the way have been great.

Live in a small place in the country in  Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, good clear skies!

I look forward to participating in this fantastice group and no doubt reyling on some help along the way.

Cheers

Mark

Welcome Mark,

Nice first scope you have there. Under your dark skies, you'll be amazed by what it'll be able to show you!

I hope you drag the clouds from queensland.

I'm sick of waiting for a clear night.

Welcome from me anyway.

Hi Mark and welcome to SGL, we could do with plenty of your nice clear skies, but I doubt I could get used to seeing our nearest neighbour upside down after all these years
