Hello from Sweden

[Joacim]

Hello there I'm new to the hobby and the swedish astroforum isn't very active so have been lurking here and on cloudynights. But prefer this place so created an account here

I got started in the hobby late November and got a Sky watcher Skyliner 200p (8" dob), December here has so far been very clear weather (but cold)so I go out as much as I can. temps have mostly been around -10 -20 C, but other hobbies include mountaineering and nordic skiing so I'm used to get dressed for weather

I live in bortle 4 skys and so far mostly been looking at the Orion nebula and Andromeda galaxy aswell as learning about constellations and the sky in generel.

Cheers

Hi Joachim and a warm welcome to SGL. Nice to have yet another nationality here!

Welcome Joacim, I also do my observing from Sweden but judging from your temperatures I’m probably a bit further south.

Enjoy the telescope and clear skies.

Welcome.  I'm new as well and also have an 8" Dob.  Only had it out 3 times so far, but have been amazed.  So far I've been able to locate Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Orion Nebula, and Andromeda Galaxy!
