Johnny Jupiter Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Hi John, Welcome aboard - you will enjoy it. Binos are good way to get to know the sky, I still use mine quite often cos they are so easy to use. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Welcome to SGL John,There's lots and lots of really good information on this forum and everyone is very helpful. I've been inspired by what I have seen in this forum to do so much more (have to somehow get the extra equipment acquisitions without my wife knowing!).Enjoy,Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkis Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Warm welcome to you John. Hope you have a great time on SGL. Binoculars are a great tool for browsing the sky, and will always be better that a poor telescope, of which there are some around, so when you are ready to ugrade to a scope, ask a lot of question on here first. That will ensure you get what you need. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgs001 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Gaz'OC and Matthew thanks for the welcome.Mikep, do you know where the local astronomy societies meet in West Sussex. I've been reading that it's a good idea to go along to a meet or three at least before investing in a scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
