Hi there and welcome to SGL

Hi Scorpion - great idea to get 3 scopes at once! I'm trying to persuade my family that this is the path to happiness.  Very good luck with weather etc. I'm sure you'll enjoy moon and planets with those!

WOW, 3 scopes! Who's a lucky lad?  

Hello and welcome to SGL. You'll get plenty of free expert advice on here.

65 is still young and at least, if your retired, then stupid work won't get in the way of your new hobby.

Clear Skies

Hi scorpion and welcome from one 65 year old to another, I have been going for a few years now and I am still learning.

This is a great hobby that you never seem to get bored with, thers so much equipment to choose from and so many objects to observe.

Hi Scorpion, 

Two possibilities: She is VERY happy with you and loves you very much, or she wants to get you out of the house...         I assume the first option is true.

A great start, that's for sure!  What mount do you have?

Have great fun with your new hobby and on the forum! I am sure you will love both.

Clear skies to all of us

The instruction manual says: AZ tracking. I believe it is auto tracking but I don't know how to use it yet. A lot to learn yet!

[Scorpion50]

The mount is AZ Tracking. It has a remote control command but I don't know how to use it yet. I guess I have a lot to learn still..!!

Hello from another "Old Bird" novice.  I hope you enjoy Astronomy as much as I have this past year.  The sky is the limit as they say in this hobby.  The folks here at SGL are very good (and patient) with beginner questions ... so fire away!
