Hello from McKinney Texas

[MattMcG]

Hello to everyone - new to astronomy and came across SGL.  Looking forward to getting to know you folks and learning a lot.  I have been able to view the conjunction twice in last days and that has been my complete experience with a telescope.  My current setup which I am learning I will list below.  Any advice/suggestions with setup of equipment and or accessories is appreciated.

Celestron Nexstar 5SE, EP: 25mm Celestron plossi; 15mm ES 52; 9mm ES 62; Celestron 2X Barlow: Celestron SkyPortal

The two Explore Scientific EP just arrived so I am excited to try them, the Barlow is on the way.

Welcome, Texas has some seriously dark sky sites well within striking distance of you. This Arky has found ONE THING to be envious of Texas about. Kidding...
