Hi, I'm new

[Orange Smartie]

Hello, thought I'd join rather than just lurking and reading all the useful info.  I'm a recent return to the world of astronomy having bought a 114mm Newtonian on an equatorial mount some 25 years ago (what a mistake that was!) and being lucky enough to get a Heritage flextube 150p very recently.  I've seen more with that dobsonian in about 3 nights than I ever managed to see with the smaller reflector.  Clear skies are forecast for me tonight!  Can't wait.

Welcome Pete,

It is a great little scope isn't it ?  I'm hoping to spend some quality time outside with mine tonight too !

Heather

Thanks for the welcome,

Yes it's amazing.  We had a short break in the cloud that lasted maybe 1 hour last weekend and because the scope is so small and portable, it was worth setting up just for that.  That would NOT have happened with my 25kg lump, I can promise you!

Yep welcome, and congrats on having Heather's favourite scope!

I think we're all getting a little hopeful of clear skies this evening!
