davidnewtonwfc Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hello Stargazers Lounge,My name's David. I've been into astronomy for years, but only started taking it up as a 'full-time hobby' in the last year or two. I've visited this site for months as a 'guest', reading reviews etc.I recently bought a Skywatcher 200P dob and finally beat the 'curse of the new scope' last night to have my first viewing session.I will apologise in advance for the many questions I will probably ask over my time here... but we all have to start somewhere right?David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brantuk Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 "we all have to start somewhere right?"Right we all started somewhere and you'll find this a friendly helpful place to ask quaestions. Just pop up a thread in the beginners help section and someone will be along with an answer soon. Good choice of scope by the way - it's a very popular model.Welcome to SGL David and hope you enjoy the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
