raccoon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi everyone, just a couple lines to introduce myself. I have just bought my first telescope. It is a stargazer. A basic but great tool and better than my binoculars. I live up in Durham in the Uk but do a lot of stargazing from my backyard. looking forward to reading through the forums and adding a few things myself. Bye for now.

raccoon Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I should said that the telescope is a Sky watcher and on the side it has wrote on a sticker..."D=114" and "F=1000". I have three lens's. A Barlow x2, Super 10mm and a Super 25 wide angle Long eye relief lens". This all came with the telescope. I paid £130 for it down in Harrogate a month or so ago and have had only two or three clear nights since then. Looking forward to talking in other rooms when I get going proper.

Catweazel Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Hi raccoon and welcome to SGL. Congrats on your new scope, It's a f8.7 so should be great for moon and planetary observing, provided the clouds eventually clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
