First time astronomer here!

[cthulhugazes]

Hi everyone!

I’m Joey. I was gifted a celestron astromaster 114eq telescope recently and have really discovered my passion for stargazing!

I’m completely new to this and looking forward to celestial observation.

Bit about me, I’m from Sheffield in the UK but spend half my time in Malta. I got my first detailed view of the moon when I set up my scope (which I named Celeste!) and was almost brought to tears with how beautiful it was.

So yeah, hi!
