Peeler Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi, This is a night of first's for me. (1) I've been given my first telescope as a birthday gift, Skywatcher 130p synscan, and (2) this is my first forum experience.I've been interested in telescopes and astronomy for some years, and on my first viewing tonight I have looked at Jupiter with four moons and was blown away! I don't know nearly enough about telescopes or the art of astronomy but look forward to learning. I used this site prior to putting in my "order" with my better half and found it invaluable, so thanks already.Peeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazel Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi Peeler and welcome to SGL. I know what you mean about Jupiter, I can't stop looking at it It will dissapear behind the neighbours house in about a week, which will mean that I can get on with looking for other things.
