Belated Hello

[Quasimodo]

Hello, I joined the lounge just over a week ago and I sort of missed the intro part and went straight to a section on observing. Sorry. So this is my formal Hi. I’ve already had lots of help from members since my posts in the observing section. Thank you all. 

I have a Celestron NexStar 6SE which I brought pre owned. It came with some extra goodies - a star sense and a power tank, extra eyepieces, some nice cases to keep things in and a bresser mount for a mobile phone. I have already brought a moon filter as I planned to do lots of observing of the moon. No observing managed at the mo but I’m plodding on with the members help. Thank you again. I’m looking to get a dew shield next then I can see where I want to go with all this once I can manage the basics!

I have always looked up to the stars since a child and had a telescope which I never really understood how to use. I can’t believe it has taken me so so many years to look into astronomy seriously. With my new enthusiasm I joined the astronomy society in my town in October 2018. I have learnt so much from just attending a few meetings and star parties. I’m excited with what astronomy can bring to my life.

The universe awaits. Kerry ?

Hello Kerry. Welcome to SGL.

Don't worry about not entering via the 'welcome' section. Actually I think I never bothered with that and went straight to a question. People still speak to me!

You have a nice scope setup. If you need any help, you will find everyone on SGL will be more than willing to offer.

Enjoy SGL, and the sky.

David.

A warm welcome from Essex. The 6se is a great scope,you will get a lot of fun using it as I did when I brought one all those years ago, and I still get a buzz using now, when I pop into the countryside. Des
