Hi all

Decide to register and delurk:).

Up til now just relied on some basic binoculars, but have just taken the plunge recently and bought a 'scope (Celestron Nexstar 8SE). Tried it out tonight for the first time, and despite being in a very light-polluted location (next to an A road and opposite a floodlit carpark and tram stop) had some serious fun. Saw Jupiter with two stripes showing, along with four moons. Was amazed by the stunning details of craters on the moon I could see. Even managed to see the Orion Nebula in some detail!

So happy! Can't wait to go up to one of my friends' who have a garden and even better, to get away to the country on holiday for some dark sky fun!

Have learnt so much reading on these forums (fora?), and will no doubt continue to do so!

Anyway, greetings to all from a newbie :-)

Marki
