Hi everyone...I'm, Dave, a 70 year old newbie to Astronomy...I've always loved using my naked eye to look at the Cosmos, having been lucky enough to spend a year on a small Pacific Atoll, with almost no ambient light to ruin my view...I've seen the Green Flash many times there...I also spent almost a year in the Saudi desert when after the rare rain storms and the sky was clear, I could go to the roof of my villa to enjoy the sky...to this day, I'm sorry I didn't have a scope...
Fortunately, I've been gifted a Meade StarNavigator 102mm Refractor and can't wait for a moonlit night...the scope itself, is in very good shqpe...the Audiostar needs a little TLC, which i can take care of...
Waiting for my back to heal so I can take it to one of the area parks for a night of pleasurable viewing...
