Hi from Belle River, Ontario Canada!

[case24]

Hello everybody. New backyard astronomer (or at least "wannabe"). Just purchased an 8" Skywatcher Dob. I've wanted a telescope since I was a kid...35 years later I finally got one

Looking forward to learning and exploring the skies!

Hi and welcome to the forum. Congratulations on getting a great scope and you won't be disappointed with 8" of aperture - will make your observing very worthwhile!

Clear skies and hope you enjoy your stay here.

Greetings and welcome to SGL, case! Nice of you to join us.

An 8-inch Newtonian? You jumped in with both feet! That's quite a good instrument! That can easily last a lifetime and show you new and amazing things for the rest of your life!

Congratulations -

Dave
