Tzitzis Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hello everyone!My name is Konstantinos, I'm 22 years old, I'm from Athens, Greece and I have been staring the night sky as long as I can remember. It wasn't until recently (and I mean 1 year ago) that I started to learn constellations and their place in the sky. I observed with naked eyes. I was fascinated that I was learning all that stuff and in June 2014 I started gazing with binoculars too. It was then that I first saw the Androeda Galaxy as a faint object in the Andromeda constellation. I was in awe! I tracked down Mars, Saturn, Venus and Jupiter. I decided that I have to buy a telescope. Alas, no money no honey and I do not own a telescope yet although I started raising money for it. I learned about sgl from a youtube video about astrophotography. Other things about me...I study Chemistry, a science I love. It's great, I hope I will have that degree in my hands by September 2016. I love music, I like rock, hard rock and metal (old school metal that is). Well that's pretty much it. Oh, have I told you yet? I WANT TO BUY A FREAKING TELESCOPE xDDDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plouer Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi it was years before I got my first scope, but there is plenty of fun to be had with Binoculars and its a great way to learn how to find your way around the night sky, which will stand you in great stead when you do get a scope.
