Hi all

[Matt85]

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.

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.

[Matt85]

Thanks for the warm welcome. There is definitely lots to take in.

Welcome to SGL,

Congratulations on a great little grab-and-go telescope! Even if you eventually buy something bigger, keep this one - you can take it anywhere and set it up fast.
