Matt85 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi all. I got into astronomy after picking up a celestron travelscope 70 from a pawnshop for cheap. First clear night I was hooked and very surprised at the quality of the view compared to my experiences with a child's telescope when younger. I am now looking to get a better mount for it or larger scope combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfosteruk Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Put the telescope down, step away, turn around and walk away, or call the official receiver, that's a slippery slope to bankruptcy there sir. Welcome to SGL Matt, they're an awesome bunch of folks here and from my recent experience I cannot recommend enough that you ask as many questions as you possibly can, so much knowledge here it's amazing.
