Newbie here!!

Hi guys,

I've always had a love for the sky, the stars and secretly wanted to be an astronomer. I ended up going into IT instead, but I plucked my courage and will to seek out the stars!!

I bought a National Geographic 76mm Newtonian Telescope the other day, a guide on stars and planets and awaiting a clear sky to observe the sky!

I'm so excited for it, I'm hoping to go somewhere where I can see more of the sky as my back garden has a limited view. I'm a total amature, I don't know what I'm doing but I'm going to give it a good try!

Hi Uzziwozzi, welcome to the forum.

Keep an eye open in the East for Jupiter rising, sometime after 11pm, that should give you some pleasing views.

Hope it stays clear for you.

Hello everyone,

Thank you so so much for all the warm welcomes! My telescope is gathering dust as the skies have not been clear at all. Hoping for clear autumn/winter nights instead.

Thanks again,

Uzma
