Recently bought my first proper scope.

Went for the skywatcher 200p dobsonian (after a lot of research).

First night out with it saw the moon (in great detail) Mars, Venus, Saturn (rings & moons), M5 globular cluster & Orion nebula.:)

Rather a HUGE step forward from my previous tasco luminova!!.:)

Have since found other globulars (ie. both in Hercules), the crab nebula & the whirlpool galaxy.

Now joining a local astro society & have been out with it on viewing evenings.

Good friendly & helpfull bunch.:headbang:

Bought a modded logitech 4000 now attempting some simple imaging, lot to learn.

Hi Lost in Space,

Welcome to SGL! I'm still fairly new but everyone has been very helpful and friendly, and there is so much you can learn on this forum!

I get to spend a bit of time in North Cornwall each year with the scope - lovely part of the world and the dark skies are beautiful! I understand that's a lovely scope you've got there - we look forward to seeing your images!

All the best :)
