Hi Furious pez and welcome to SGL. once you have gained a grasp of Astronomy and what it is all about, you will find there will be plenty of members very willing to spend your money, when you are ready to upgrade to another telescope. In the meantime enjoy the forum and your new scope

Welcome to the forum and the hobby.

Have fun doing what you're doing.

Hello and welcome to the forum, the best scope is the one you use most often so dont be in a rush to upgrade to a bigger one yet. Just enjoy the one you've got at the minute. I probably use my 72mm scope far more than the others because it's so much easier to take out to dark sites.

Alien Conspiracies are down the hall to your right. For all other astronomical pursuits - you're in the right place!
