AndyW Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi everyoneJoined up on here a month back and thought it about time I said hello and started to actually post! Another newbie from Essex. I've had a passing interest in the stars for many years now, something reignited recently when I've been camping in the sticks and had some wonderful dark skies to stare at!Only got some old bins to use (10*50) and don't intend to rush out and get a scope.Been to a few meetings of a local club ( Castle Point Astronomy Club) and am just sorting out membership.Looking forward to a long and educating journey.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Andy and welcome to the forum.Good idea to take your time and do the research on the scope front. Your binos are great for getting to know the constellations which are always useful to know.Clear skies in the meantimeJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteShiva Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Welcome to the board. Take your time when chosing a scope and make sure you see it with your own eyes before you buy. It will give you a good perspective on what size scope you will get and how heavy things are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
