Hi all, just saying hi. I'm a born again amateur and I've just bought a starter scope. Meade Adventurer 80. I read loads of reviews of other scopes and plumped for that one knowing I could use it as a base, having read that it is a great tube but dodgy accessories. I had a limited budget that wasn't going to improve and I wanted to get started.
I am enjoying myself immensely but am already looking for a Barlow. I've seen Jupiter and it's moons already!
I had a scope when I was a teenager and saw Saturn and was hooked and destined to return one day. I think that was a decent little scope, it cost £18 in 1975!
I do intend heading out to Kent or elsewhere it's a little less light.
