Hello from Kentucky

[kyemt]

Hello everyone,

My name is Wayne, I am an EMT in Pike county. I have had an interest in astronomy since I was in elementary school, but bought my first telescope in 2009 which was a Tasco novice. Two years ago I purchased a Celestron 114 LCM and it is a great telescope. Ive seen Jupiter as well as Saturn with it, as well as the Orion nebula and the pleids and hope to find much more.

Hi Wayne and welcome to the stargazers lounge.

Used a 4.5" Tasco newt myself for about twelve years. It showed me many great sights in the night sky.

Enjoy it out there

Hi Wayne & welcome

Have you downloaded 'stellarium' onto your computer?   It's free and very useful

In addition, 'Turn left at Orion' is a great book to get started..
