A telescope at last!!!

[tobyc69]

Hello, I finally have a telescope (Jessop's TA1100-102) after years of stargazing with the naked eye. Alas there have been no clear nights since I got it! I've never used a telescope before and came across your site which seems to have a lot of useful resources.

Looking forward to seeing the mountains on the moon and the rings of Saturn!

Hi Toby,

Welcome to the forums.

Download Stellarium (free), it'll give you a good idea what is available to see in the sky at any particular time, and where to look for it.

Hi Toby Welcome to SGL and contracts on the new scope.

Cloudy skies are typical just after you get a new scope - it's a curse I'm sure of it

Hello and welcome. My B-in-L has just bought the same scope to see whether he catches the bug. I hope you have fun :-)

Hi Toby,

Welcome to the forum.

Athe moment Saturn is an early morning object but Jupiter is well placed for viewing in the evening.

Enjoy.
