Bonjour, tout le monde!

[Neptune_Jazz]

Hey everyone! Call me Nep, Neppie, etc. I'm really excited to be a part of these forums; I'm kind of rediscovering my love for astronomy and the beauty/mystique of celestial bodies ; I have a really fancy astronomy textbook , so I definitely have access to the academic study of the heavens but actually becoming a casual star-gazer via telescope is a new endeavor. I hope to gain some insight and learn a lot of the terrifying lingo I've seen regarding telescopes/gazing on here haha!
