Roy Batty Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi,Logged in a few days ago but have just got around to saying hi.Like many before i'm a lapsed astronomer from my teens ....familiar story got a Rubbish scope promising wildly optimistic mag horrible eyepieces need i say more...Now i'm older and hopefully a bit wiser i'm thinking those skies from the back garden (i live in somerset now) look mighty fine. So i get some bins to start with and am amazed by the number of stars i can see..So now i've got the bug again and after much searching the net went for a 200mm newt. Spent most of last year getting to know my way around the skies a bit better - best memory from last summer was to get good views of jupiter and about four moons early in the summer evenings - great stuff!I realise now that the true limits to my ambition for more astro toys is my wallet!! -oh humSpent most of this winter looking at DSO's, but that can be tricky especially the fainter ones (no goto mount for me yet...)Joined a local astro group as well (they meet in a pub) gets my vote!Well that's about it for now..laters...& clear skiesKitBresser 10x50's BinsCelestron C8-N scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
