stephenwilliamwatts Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Greetings all I have decided to finally put down some roots and get involved in astronomy I picked up a pretty good telescope for a song a Meade LX-200. I know its alot of telescope for a new person but the price was a steal so I could not turn it down.Am sure I will be asking lots of obvious questions so will spend some thim looking through the postings to see if I can get the answers there. Anyway happy viewingSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No scope is too much or to little for a new person - have what you like and enjoy, it will certainly save you keep changing it for something bigger and has saved you expense in the process.Now all we want for you is some clear skies!

haitch Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi Steve and welcome to the forum.At this rate there won't be a garden in the West Midlands that hasn't got someone in it staring upwards If only... that would sort out the halogen "searchlights" and with that many of us we could swing the next local election, take over the West Midlands' Councils and turn all the street lights off.Hi from Brownhills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
