Introduction

[richard5700]

Hi. When I was a kid I was into science. I did not follow a career in it. I probably should have. Anyway, I was keen on astronomy. I even boufght an 80mm refractor. Although I actually prefer to look at sky with binoculars.  I might buy a pair sometime. Now that we have the internet, following a hobby like astronomy  becomes more attractive. It's nice to communicate, and get answers to questions. Rich

Hi Rich and welcome to SGL. Metaphorically the forum can be likened to a massive Astronomical information library, you will find the governing librarians most helpful and you can withdraw  what you want, its all free, enjoy
