Hi there
I have always been memorised by the sky, I don't know the constellations or where certain stars are, but have always been completely fascinated and in awe when I look up and when coming back from the oub on a clear night, used to wake her indoors up and drag her up the fields with some beers, the dogs and camping chairs to stare at the sky for a while.
I have always told myself I wanted a couple of telescopes, one for looking at planets and one for deep space and I won't buy one until I can afford to spend about £1k on one as it would last me for years, but now I find myself at 40 and with two kids under 17 months old I realise that if that hasn't happened yet, I probably have another 20 years to wait before it does.
So when I saw a second hand, telescope for sale I spoke to the mrs and picked up a National Geographic premium telescope 76/700 locally for £25 and that would be my Christmas present from her.
So at least, now when I come home from the pub and the sky is clear, I can leave her alone to sleep and go an check the stars out on my own, at least after Christmas that is, when Santa drops it off at my house.
So, it's nice to meet you, hope to speak soon
Cheers
Dan
