Roy 8712 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 hi all,53 year young bloke from the not so sunny tamworth here. Just brought my first scope, hate the cloudy skies, love your forums, learning a lot. Kids all grown up and left, so lots of spare time to look at the clouds!

Roy 8712 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hiya all,Thanks for the welcome, I read lots of stuff in here, and went out and brought myself a meade 102, (which I,m lead to believe is a good starter scope, from what I can gather) Its really good and I brought it from a guy at work for £100 so from what I paid for it ,and the amount I have had upto now, seems a great buy ( shame I can't buy a big fan and blow the damn clouds away).Even the wife,s had a look too!Once again, thanks for the welcome!Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdavo Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Welcome to SGL! Although I've never personally used it, the 102 is certainly a nice starter scope, and I hope you enjoy using it!David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
