Gytha Ogg Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Hi all, yet another newb to the site. I've long been interested in astronomy. I love science anyway, but there is something special about astronomy - space is just fascinating, and beautiful! However, I was never really sure where to start. Recently I've been thinking about getting a telescope and I've been researching as much as I can online, and this site has been an absolutely massive help, especially for equipment tips. (Think I'm leaning towards the Skywatcher Heritage 130p).Hopefully I can get a scope in the next month or so, and I can't wait to get started!Hope to see you all around.

It's a very welcoming and informative forum and I hope you enjoy it. The witches series of Pratchett books are great and I really enjoyed them.
