Glad to be part of it!

Hi all!

I've just registered and wanted to say a quick hello. I've always had a keen interest in astronomy (and even more so the physics behind it) but have only had the time to really get into it (and get a new scope!) since January. I've been in and out of this site a few times and am always impressed at how friendly and helpful everyone is.

Excited about being part of this community and looking forward to meeting people with similar intersets!

Marc

P.S. I WILL need some advice in choosing my new scope. Its a minefield!

[Brendan of Borg]

Hi Marc, Pleased to meet yer.

There are so many threads here on new scopes that, will find loads of great advice based on your budget!

Weird! I was actually looking at the Skywatcher Explorer 200 as my next scope now I know I love it (I only have a 3 1/2in at the moment, please no sniggering!). I'm interested in looking at DSOs so is this the way forward? Like I said, minefield!

Thanks

Hi Danobi and welcome.

The Skywatcher explorer 200p is an excellent scope with many happy owners on this forum (me included), the only thing to decide between is equatorial or dob mount.
