Hello

[DRT]

Hello,

My name is Derek and I recently purchased a Skywatcher Heritage 130p as my first venture into the world of astronomy.

I have been doing lots of research on the web about what to buy next and keep getting lots of very useful hits from SGL so thought I should join the club so that I can learn from the experts

My first impression of this forum is that it is a very friendly place to be.

Good job guys!

Derek

Hi Derek welcome to the lounge,

the Heritage 130p is a good choice for your first scope,

if the clouds ever go away you will soon learn the night

sky with it.  Enjoy!

Good Luck and Clear Sky's
