Ahoy From Kansas

[Branden]

Hello everyone. I'm Branden. I've been looking up at the night sky with wonder and awe since I was a young lad. Now almost at the age of 30, I do so with an Orion 14" push-to Dob. Looking forward to meeting you all and of course observing the night sky. (Pictures from last night. Finally got a night without rain. Jupiter with moons Europa, Ganymede, Io, and Callisto. And I'm sure everyone recognizes our ringed friend, Saturn.  )

Greetings, Branden, and welcome to SGL - it's good of you to join us!

We have a good number of 'Dob-Mober's here, so you'll be in fine company!

Clear and dark skies,

Dave

Greetings. Like so many of us, our interest starts when we are young and it is not until later that we realize our true calling as observers of the night sky. We are a select few who get unmeasureable enjoyment from this hobby which is boring and unproductive to so many others. It's nice to have forums like this to share our passion.

Welcome aboard..mate?

Welcome to the forum.  Those shots are awesome.  I can't quite get any of the planets yet without them looking like a bright blob haha.  I'll figure it out eventually
