Hi There, From Florida!!

[Poslla28]

Greeting from Sunny Florida!

I just joined this site, as I ordered my new Orion XT10i Dob telescope yesterday...This site has provided me with a wealth of great informaiton that i've been studying over the past month or 2 to help me determine which telescope & accessories would best fit me.  I'm already to go once it gets here. 

With all the research i've done, i'm starting with the following items for my XT10i:

2x TeleVue Barlow

Orion 13mm Stratus Wide-Field EP

Celestron 5mm X-Cel LX Series EP

Lumicon 1.25" Deep Space Filter

Lumicon 1.25" Variable Polarizing Filter

MrStarGuy SGC30 Bag

I definitely think i'll have a good start.  I hear this season for Saturn viewing is supposed to be incredible!  My wife and I are REALLY stoked about that.

I can't wait to get a chance to interact with everyone and share my experiences. 

Thanks!

Erik

Greetings Erick and welcome from Tiree, a dark (but often cloudy) island off the west coast of Scotland. I hope that you will enjoy this site as much as I have. There is wealth of valuable and interesting information here.

Greetings from cloudy Norway Eric, and congrats with your new scope.

I got the Orion XT8i early April, but have yet to test the intelliscope part of it, visually I have been very pleased with it.

Regards

Hi Erik, welcome to SGL.

I bet you can't wait to get your scope and give it a spin. I have a 7mm LX and found it to be a decent eyepiece providing me pleasing views of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Another warm welcome from a fellow Floridian (and Australian, by birth).

The people here are wonderful...except they spell things funny ...like tyres and colour.
