chadders Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi.New member here having joined only a couple of days ago. I've always had an interest in astronomy since school days, and even had a telescope when in my teens (until I discovered girls). Well that was many years ago and over the years I've always had binoculars and kept an interest in the stars. Being usually away from home, owning a telescope has always been a problem. Anyway, I'm now retired and, I suppose like many others at this time of year, Stargazing Live has re-kindled my interest and I've decided to do something useful in retirement, now that I have time available and won't be travelling every week.I've dusted off the binoculars and started looking around for a suitable telescope, and I'm hoping to be able to enjoy some excellent nights of observation.My other main interests are photography and hill walking.CheersJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
