And_yB Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Yeah sorry that did sound smug. Thanks for the steer seriously. Simple is best... particularly for me at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the dark skies of the Spanish mountains a big aperture scope would be a fabulous tool. Even my moderate 12 inch dob shows amazing views under dark skies I didn't find your post smug at all.

And_yB Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 I must admit that the evenings I have spent sitting on the patio looking up at an amazing sky are too numerous to count. The contrast to what can by seen by the naked eye in northern Europe is incredible. Having had an interest in all things in the cosmos since a very young age, it was a natural choice as a hobby for retirement... and I'm sure all on here would agree to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been observing for about 40 years now but since I retired in 2011 I've been able to take advantage of more clear nights without having to worry about getting up early the following morning. I hope you enjoy your journey of discovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
