Hey all,

late developer here. Live just outside Birmingham UK, work in the Precision Engineering trade.

Got my forst scope (not counting the foggy toystore refractor 40 years ago) on Thursday last week, Skywatcher 130P supatrak. First light Friday (moon), Saturday got real nice view of Saturn. Looking forward to many more nice views.

Will apologise upfront for some stupid questions im bound to ask, but am looking forward to picking your collective brains! :-)

Clear and dark skies to you all,

Rick

Hi Rik and welcome to the forum. There is not such things as a stupid question, but there can be such a thing as a stupid answer, I should know I've typed most of them!

Clear skies for your new kit and enjoy the forum,
