Hello from Lexington, Virginia!

Hello all!

My name is Greg Hemmings and I live in Lexington, Virginia. I am fairly new to astronomy and I own a Skywatcher 8” truss Dobsonian. Looking forward to meeting you all and learning all I can!

Hello Greg and welcome to SGL! I see you have the quintessential beginners scope, the 8" dob is legend and will keep you busy for years, I see Mickey and Mini are all fired up about it too!. Gee Greg, that scope looks so new i'd be willing to bet Santa was really nice this Chrismas? lol.

Hi, Greg, and welcome to SGL.

An 8" dob will keep you happy for a while.

Enjoy the journey.

Welcome. Have fun with your scope, the hobby and the forum. ?

[Greg6498]

Thank you all! Yes, this is my first scope I was involved in astronomy in high school (many years ago!) and am really looking forward to trying this new one out. I also use these eyepieces:

Baader Morpheus 12.5 mm, Explore Scientific 6.7 mm and Explore Scientific 18 mm. I am sure I'll have MANY questions for you all!

Only 7,000 people in Lexington, light pollution shouldn't be too annoying.

Lexington is a great little historic town that is quite dark! We have a great area for observing! Thank you all for the warm welcome!
