Poundsey Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hi everyone, new member here.My awesome wife surprised me with a Skywatcher Explorer 130p for my birthday. It's my first scope and the views I've managed of Jupiter and M42 from my back garden so far have been fantastic. I managed to get the crescent of Venus for a few minutes last night too. Now I need to find somewhere properly dark Sooo much to learn, sooo much to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
