Hi all

I've just found this forum after buying our first telescope.

My names Tracy I've got a jessops TA1100-102.

I've been bitten by the astrology bug after getting my dslr canon camera earlier this year and taking some pics of the moon.

I Can't wait to take some more now ive got my scope. I'm a total novice so anyhlp would be much appreciated.

thanks

Hi Tracy. Welcome to SGL. Enjoy your scope. Ask away with any questions. We have all been there and are happy to help.

By the way. Astrology is crystal ball and tea leaves. We are the other lot - astronomy!

Hi Tracy, it's astronomy not astrology (that's horoscopes etc not telescopes)

Anyway, welcome to the forum.

[tracyj]

how embarressing lol thanks for the replies i meant astronomy lol. told you i was a beginner and having a blonde moment.

[Telrad]

Hello Tracy and welcome from south west France.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Just managed to get out in the garden with the scope now the clouds cleared and had a good look at the moon I can sum up what I saw in one word WOW. Now I'm totally hooked.

Now I need to know what else to look for and where to look

You could do worse than download a copy of Stellarium (just google it). It's a really good planetarium, and it's free . And er, welcome to SGL .
