Hello!

[G-James]

Hi everyone!

My name is James and Im a complete novice.

I got a Skyhawk 1145PM for my Birthday (I'm 13) and have used it for a couple of weeks. I got some decent views of Jupiter and M31 and stumbled across M81 and M82 while sweeping the Milky Way.

I haven't done much recently as the weathers been awful here.

So...err thats me!

P.S Try to remember im only 13, no really technical stuff!

( Just, please dont patronise me! (I'm sure you won't though!))

Welcome to SGL, James

Ask away with your questions 'cos it's one of the best ways to learn. And hopefully you won't feel you're being patronised
