"Chewie... we're home..."

[jw94D2]

Hello!

Created an account today after my first telescope finally arrived this morning. I'm John, 22yr old from sunny Scotland.

I don't have a clue what I'm doing on here yet or had a really good look at the forum yet, just been in a few of the beginner and help sections but I'll catch on as I go. (I hope.)

So, just wanted to say hi as my first post and I'm glad I found my way here! 

(I have a Celestron Astromaster 130. Planning my first observation tonight if the sky is clear enough!)

Welcome to the forum.

I hope you have better skies than we are having down here in Kent!

Hi John and welcome to the lounge, you might find this helpful,  A good way of finding your way around the skies is with the free Planetarium download www.stellarium.org/ you can configure the settings to your location and add various plugins.

Welcome to SGL, John.

As for 'sunny Scotland', it's evident you have a sense of humour.

Main thing is to have fun with the hobby - and the forum.
