Hi from the UK

[Steve55]

Hello . My names Steve . I live in the UK in Lincolnshire on the east coast. and have just bought my first scope. Nothing too fancy , but after some deliberation it seemed like a reasonable choice for a First and to see if my interest really takes off with this  new hobby.  I have a few questions as all newcomers do am sure which i will post in the other sections when i mange to find the right one.

Hi Steve Welcome to the Lounge

[Steve55]

At the moment i will be happy to look and learn what am looking at and actually how to look would be a good starting point , although i do like photography that may come when am more attuned to using a telescope.
