strayring Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudsweeper Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
