Hello from Norway

[Illusive]

Hello everyone! Im a redbearded viking from Norway who somehow ended up here.
I know as much about astronomy as your average hampster, but ive decided to buy a 8inch dob(gso/skywatcher or orion)  
Now I just need to decide which one! 

This seems like a nice place to start haha.

Hello, Illusive, and welcome to SGL - it's good to have here!

A fine choice in telescopes. Either of these can easily last a lifetime of new & fascinating observation. And we here love helping find answers to astro-based questions - so ask freely in the many forums.

Starry Skies!
