Joemofobro Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi all from (near) Derby. It was my birthday yesterday and my wife got me a 76mm x 700mm Newtonian Telescope from Argos. Had my first look at the moon last night and was blown away.Has anybody got any tips for good things to look out for ? I have the Starwalk app - is that a good reference source ?Any tips would be greatly appreciated.Thanks to All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamski Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hello fellow cancerian. sometimes just trawling the skies is pretty good fun, you never know what you're going to see but it doesn't always matter. With autumn and winter around the corner you'll be spoilt for choice soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
