Saturn was my first target for my scope, Gordon. The first view is unforgettable. If you think that's far away, though, wait 'til you see the Orion nebula, or a globular cluster, or the Andromeda galaxy...

[Gordon]

Thank you all for your messages.

James, the scope I've got is an Optron Powerseeker 127EQ. But don't ask me much more about it!, I know it's a 127 x 1000 but that's about your lot!

[Jamie]

Oh no the bug has struck once more.

Enjoy mate.

Hope you don't have much on at work at the moment Gordon. If you do make sure you turn off any internet access you might have because your productivity is about to take a big hit

Me too Martin! It's scary how much time you'll end up spending here...

Saturn was the first thing that I ever saw through a scope, and it hooked me straight away!
