An unexpected new amateur...

Hi & Welcome............

Yes Tim, welcome. You might well join the great body of us who are on the road to financial ruin in pursuit of a merciless hobby! Wait until aperture fever hits you - and ever more exotic eyepieces. You will however have a grand time of it. :-)

Hi Tim and welcome, I think you have made a good choice in exploring the heavens first hand from a visual point of view.

A warm welcome from me too! I hope you find the skies to be as thrilling as the rest of us, and that you eventually turn to "the dark side" and take up astro-photography If (when) you do decide to take that route, we will be able to help you make good choices.

Besides, we need more Tims on the forum! Welcome to SGL!

Cheers

Tim
