Apparently I cant add a signature yet until I reach 5 posts so we will count this one towards that quota. Currently own a couple of modest scopes (equipment below) which work just fine for me. I'm quite content with the smaller scopes I have and am able to get them in and out the door with ease. Someday I wouldn't mind something with more aperture if my observing skills, location, habits and finances allowed it. Oh and the wife! Scopes: Orion Starmax 127 on AstroView EQ-3, Vixen ED80SF on Vixen Porta II Tall Eyepieces: ES68 28mm, Orion Sirius Plossl's, 32mm, 25mm, 10mm, No-Name Plossl's in 15mm, 6.5mm, WO Swan 20mm, Vixen LV 8-24mm Zoom, Meade 4000 8-24mm (Japan) Zoom Diagonals: Tak 1.25" Prism, ES 2" Dielectric Accessories: Orion Shorty Plus Barlow, Set of Parks Planetary filters, Orion Moon filter 13% Bino's: Vortex Diamondback 10x42 and 10x50 HD, Nikon Action 10x50 and 12x50

Thanks all! Appreciate the warm welcome!

Just wanted to say "Hello" from the USA. I've browsed for a while on these forums but never participated till now. You all are very knowledgeable and have some fun conversations. I have similar experiences with the gang over at CloudyNights (am I allowed to mention them here? ), so I am looking forward to learning more from you all here at Stargazers Lounge.
