Phil73805 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi everyone, I was introduced to this forum by Steve at First Light Optics, so thanks Steve, you really are a gent I have recently returned to astronomy after a 6 year lapse (forshame). I have always used binoculars until recently when I bought a WO Megrez 110 mounted on an HEQ5. To cut a long story short it didn't work out and I have put in an order for an Orion US 10" 'Intelliscope' Dob. It must be said that Simon at The Widescreen Centre in London has been a real pleasure to deal with and I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough!As I have discovered my main interest seems to lie in DSO observing and sketching. In short, I'm back to astronomy and it's great!!!I was intending a more coherent intro but I prefer to get to know everyone the old fasioned way, through chatting on the forums Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
