Hello

[Thor101]

Hi, I’m new here so thought I would introduce my self. I have been playing at astronomy for about a year on a very cheap Optus 75mm reflector and have now upgraded to an old 8in Orion reflector. Has anyone got any experience of fairly old Orion telescope

Welcome. I have no experience of such a scope but if you have any specific questions, just ask.

Have fun on the learning curve. 🙂

Hi, Thor, and welcome to SGL.

No experience of that particular scope, but will confidently predict that, compared to the 75mm, the views with it will blow you away.

Enjoy the journey.

Welcome aboard.
