Hi, Andrew, and a warm welcome to SGL! I don't think I'm the only one on here that gets a warm glow of nostalgia whenever 'Tasco' telescopes are mentioned!

Hope you enjoy your time on SGL Andrew.

You will find it a very helpful  environment, and no better place to enhance your

knowledge and skills. Also, you may make contributions that will help others, which is what this forum is about really.

Anyway, why M76, the little Cork Nebula, or smaller Dumbell as it otherwise known.

I can only assume you are just fond of the little Neb.

Best Wishes.

Ron.
