Hello

[Soupir94]

Hi all,

I have already found a wealth of information from lurking about SGL so I thought I would post and say hello. 

Of particular interest has been the AZ-Gti owners topic and the Dob EQ platform for dummies thread.

I have been into astronomy for a few years but mostly living in apartments with no access to a garden, so it was difficult to get any privacy, and avoiding the classic “Is that a telescope?” question was always challenging. 😀

I have a back garden now and an Orion XT8, SW ed80 APO and Bresser Mak 127. Still have the Meade etx70 from my apartment days but somewhere along the way I mislaid the handset, so I am thinking of de-forking it and getting some rings to mount it on the AZ-Gti.

 

Looking forward to SGL membership.

 

John
