Hello from Sussex

Hello,

Stumbled across the forum during my investigations into purchasing my first telescope. Looks to be a very friendly and useful place and hope you won't mind a few newbie questions!

Haven't actually bought a telescope yet, but I'm very keen to sort that out soon! Then I just need to start praying for the rain to stop...

 

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave and welcome to the forum, this is the place to ask questions if you need any help, lots of knowledgeable people here.  New telescopes come packed with clouds BTW 🤣

Welcome. Good luck with choosing your first telescope, though I can certainly vouch for the advice given by this community when my wife was choosing my first scope!

Welcome Dave, this is a great hobby but be advised very addictive.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
