Greetings from Northwest Arkansas

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and indeed to armature astronomy and wanted to introduce myself to everyone.  As a kid my dad always had his telescope out and seeing the old orange Celestron C8 that he broke out to show my young nieces the recent super moon sparked a renewed interest.  I recently bought a Celestron Nextstar 130SLT as an first telescope and have been out with it nearly every clear night  happily freezing my butt off... especially the couple of times I've dragged myself out of bed at 4am to view Jupiter).

 

Anyway, I'm grateful for this huge wealth of knowledge I can tap into and look forward to the time when I can contribute what I've learned from you all to others.

 

Cheers!

Steve
