Moratorian Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 My name is Michael. I have just recently bought (and still waiting to have delivered) a Celestron Nexstar 6SE. Its been about 20 years since I last looked through a telescope (a dobson) but I never lost the love of looking at the stars and wondering what's out there. I'm getting close to retirement and look forward to having lots of time time to re-immerse myself in star gazing and exploring the sky. I am looking forward to having lots of interesting conversations and picking the brains of the experts.Moratorian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swag72 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hiya Michael - Welcome to SGL. Congrats on your new scope, I bet you are excited. Sadly I'm no expert, but if you have any problems then do shout as one or two folks really do know what they are talking about!! While you are waiting ...... patiently no doubt!! ....... you could download Stellarium, a great planetarium programme that will really help you find your way about the sky.Look forward to seeing you around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
