Hello everyone,

I just knew that selling my first telescope a few years back would be a mistake I would later regret. I think that once you look up and marvel at the night sky it stays with you forever. I do wish I still had my little 4” reflector now. It gave me some tremendous views of Mars during its close approach a few years back. You live and learn.

So this is my second time around and at present I do not own a telescope or binoculars. Hopefully I’ll have something in a couple of months or so. Equipment certainly seems to have moved on rapidly in a short time and I’m enjoying reading up on what’s new and all the latest gizmos in the astronomy world. Think it might be a Dobsonian for me this time around as my funds will be tight.

I'm very fortunate to have good dark skies, so until my future purchase it’s simply a pair of eyes and a 360 degree view. For me that’s still the best view of all.

Looking forward to learning and contributing to this forum.

Hi Jem and welcome to SGL, maybe it is just me and my poor eyesight, but I had quite a job reading your intro, small black print on a black background. Whatever scope you eventually acquire, at least you will have dark skies to get the best out of it :)

John.

Jem 7, I see you are a man of few words. Welcome to SGL all the way from Bulgaria. Enjoy a really great site and try to say something we are all friends here.

Sorry I see you have writen something but I can't read it for some reason. it is very poor contrast, never seen it before.

Welcome to the dark side!

John, just hit CTRL-A or manually mark with the mouse the text you cant see. The markings will increase the contrast in this case.
