Ryall Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hiya folks! Name is Ryall and I'm relatively new to the hobby.I actually got my first scope a long time ago a celestron 130 goto scope which I still have to this day but I didn't dedicate enough time passtime, too young perhaps This Christmas gone though I was extremely lucky enough to have a trip to Hawai'i and more specifically the observatories based on the top of Mauna Kea and actually got to do some star gazing with a tour group at around 9000 ft and the views were incredible. needless to say i was hooked again and ever since Ive been going out as often as I can and recently splashed out on a new scope and found this lovely forum!Pleasure to meet you all!

Marki Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Welcome to SGL, Ryall!What did you go for for your new scope? And how does your usual observing site compare to Mauna Kea ? That must have been truly spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryall Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 I went for a 12" meade lightbridge dobsonian only came this week and haven't had a chance to haul it out yet. Haven't found a brilliant dark site yet either, been trekking out into the peak district looking for a decent spot, whilst the skies out there a lovely and dark each trip ive made the conditions haven't lasted long enough for decent sky time. Have found a local astronomy club though and meeting them this week. But I doubt ill find conditions as good as Mauna Kea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
