Hi all

[Mandalorian]

I like astronomy a lot and after a long time thinking about it i finally bought my first telescope. Looking forward to some good times observing the wonders above us.

Hi there Mandalorian, welcome to SGL

Yes, what 'scope did you treat yourself to?

And a Star Wars fan by any chance?

[Mandalorian]

Thx for all the welcome messages.

Morning, David i got an Orion xx12i because i wanted some aperture and the "push-to" to help me find stuff. I was able to try my scope 2 times but had some encoder issues due to assembly mistakes from my part but i took a good look at the moon, it was really bright and the details were amazing. Everything is working alright now but unfortunately i got hit with some really bad weather with lots of clouds all over the place.

The good new is that i am studying some star charts to identify what to see on the next session and everything i see will be a first.

Hi Mandalorian, welcome to the Lounge.

That's a cracking scope you have got there, I hope the weather sorts it's self out for you.

Don't forget to let us know how you get on.
