Hi From Herts

[Dustcart]

Hi.

Dustcart here.

I have always had a slack jawed wonder about all things space, but sadly not blessed with the technical of minds so find a lot of it a tad confusing.

Bought myself a pair of large Celstron bins from Amazon to start finding my way around the stars but they were flawed with spectacular double vision.  Returned and got another pair and they have gone the same way.  Managed to get my first view of The Mighty Jupiter through them while ago.  Speechless.

I have recently bought a Skywatcher 200p and have only used it once, due to work and clouds.  I was going to get it out tonight, but the clouds and mist are out.  My main starting targets are Jupiter, Saturn, Orion Nebula, Andromeda.........the others must form an orderly queue!   I have reasonably dark(ish) skies where i live so clouds begone!!

No doubt i'll be posting up some newbie questions in the coming weeks etc.

Hi from Edinburgh. I had the 200p and found it to be an excellent scope. You have some great stuff ahead. Clear skies
