Datadave Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 New member here Just received a 130mm Celestron Newtonian Reflector - with the NexStar SLT system I know nothing about. I do hope to get the chance to poke around a bit on SGL from time to time and learn from you experts - I do have a lot to learn about telescopes and astronomy.

Hey Bottletop - It is nice in Florida but tell you the truth when that photo was taken I was freezing my shorts off - It was like 50ºF and dropping, with a NW wind blowing. A quick look at the Moon and back inside I went. It has been raining ever since ?️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
