Hi Forum,

just a few lines to introduce myself and say hello. I `m probably a bit premature as my telescope hasn`t arrived yet, an Orion SkyQuest XT8, but greetings to all just the same.

Having read a few of the posts and stickys i`m better informed than i was an hour ago :) and look forward to glean any more tips, pointers and advice from seasoned stargazers. After the seemingly endless nightly research on " Best Beginner Scopes " i`ve the eyes burned out of myself and am looking forward to using the dobsonian more than the Compaq.

I was out earlier with the bino`s and wish the telescope had arrived today. Very clear skies and quite a mild evening made me think how many people were looking skyward enjoying the stars on show.

Regards,

Will.

Hello Lowstar, I'm new to this forum myself. I love the excitement of waiting for a new telescope. I have used the SkyQuest XT 10 and was very impressed. I think you will love it. My first tip: get a real good eyepiece, say in the 40 mm range and 18mm range. You may think you have a good scope using supplied EP's, but the purchase of a high quality EP can make your jaw drop and reveal the true resolving capacity of your OTA!

I'm excited for you and look foward to hear about your first light!
