Good afternoon

[Sam270]

New boy on board so please be gentle! 😶

Located in Manchester, totally new to all this but wifey's been banging on about a telescope for years. She bought some cheap eBay rubbish that totally disappointed but with her upcoming birthday I'm looking to get her something a little better and see where that takes us.

Obviously I'll go post newbie questions in the appropriate section.

 

Cheers. 👍

Welcome and ask away, no thing is silly to ask, we all have to start our journey.
You will find folks helpful and keen to answer, it may take a day for replies to flow.
The one thing this hobby brings is an obsession with the weather, you will fall into this soon enough.
