Hi there from Cape Town, South Africa. Have been reading some great posts on this forum (and learning a lot) so I have decided to join and maybe learn even more.

I caught the bug about 2 years age when I bought a 127mm Bird-Jones type reflector at an auction house, the views astounded me but I soon started hankering to upgrade. So I now have a Orion XT8 dob that I am loving. Can't get enough of the skies even with all light pollution in out suburb.

Welcome to this great forum!  That Dob will be giving you nice views alright, and there's so much to see even with some LP.

Keep learning, sharing, and enjoying!

Doug.

Hi & welcome to SGL.

An 8" can cut through some quite extensive LP so you should get some good views.
