Nordboy Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 So, after years of sitting in the back garden using night sky, my wife decided to buy me a telescope for christmas. I would definitely be classed as a total newbie though, no experience of anything telescope related. Lots of learning to come!! I’m now the owner of a Celestron Nexstar 6SE. Unfortunately the skies here have been cloudy since, but hoping it will clear at some point so I can at least try and set it up!! Hopefully I can eventually put my pretty defunct Nikon dslr so some good as well in the future. Look forward to getting some info from you very knowledgable people on here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshed Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Welcome to SGL. With that lovely new scope you now own you are bound to have a wonderful time observing, and photographing, the universe for many years to come. Here’s hoping for clear skies.

Welcome, what an excellent Xmas gift ! Nikons do not become defunct though, they mature gracefully into classic cameras ... 😀 heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
