Hello

[Kayperrins]

Hi from Limousin, France. I had an old Meade telescope for a few years but living in Birmingham UK rarely had chance to use it as the light pollution was so bad. Now I have dark skies to die for so have purchased a Skyquest XT8 although sods law dictates that since it's purchase we have barely had a clear night. I'm looking forward to using it and so far have had a quick look at Jupiter and of course the Moon, hoping to get some more lens for it too, only have a 25mm presently, regards Kay

Welcome. I hope you have lots of fun with your new scope ... and at least some more clear skies! 🙂

Hello Kay, and welcome to the community, I was wondering why the weather is so bad,

constant rain and cloud, so it's your fault, only joking, sods law when you buy new kit,

hope we all get better weather soon, see you around the forums.

Clear Sky's.
