Hi All!

[capncurt86]

I'm looking into getting my first telescope. I have been reading/researching these forums for a month or so, but am now just getting an account.

I am an aerospace engineer who never cared much for anything beyond an Earth orbit, but as research is advancing in space travel I am getting more interested in astronomy. I hope to make it a hobby I care share with my family and friends.

Thanks for having me!
