Hi everyone!

[ringsofsaturn]

Just wanting to share my mega news of today.

A newbie to astronomy since January this year, but have been getting more and more involved. Joined my local Astronomy Society; went to my first Starfest camp in August; my first StarMeet last weekend and just completed an Introduction to Astronomy course this week. I think I've been bitten by the bug!

Oh, yes, my mega news...finally resolved the problem that has prevented me being able to use the 8" Dobsonian I bought secondhand in August, by means of a 50mm extension tube Can't wait for clear skies tonight!!

Welcome aboard. Good luck tonight.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Glad you have managed to work what the problem was (luckily something straightforward  ) so it's now onwards and upwards!

Wishing you clear skies and hope you enjoy the forum

Hi and welcome to the Lounge, I am betting you will fall in love with the 8" Dob tonight. Hoping it stays clear tonight, I have two new eyepieces to check out.
