Timshortman Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi I'm Tim im new to astronomy but I have always had a interest in the stars and space exploration since I saw the mars surveyor launch in 96 when I was on holiday in Florida.I have been using binoculars for about 5 months to learn the constellations and keep a eye on the planets. I have recently purchased a celestron astromaster 130 so I can explore the skies a bit more. It would be nice to chat with some people who are like minded as there aren't any local groups near me.ThanksTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
