Ahoy there!

[Atheist Planet]

Hey guys,

Just joined this awesome forum and wanted to say Hi!

After going to Currys yesterday to have a gander at a decent telescope (and getting NO luck or advice from the 'sales' chap) I thought i'd join an astronomy forum to chat with some veterans!!!

Looking forward to getting started and seein' some stars!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to SGL. Yeah I'd avoid the mainstream high street stores. Take a look at First Light Optics or Opticstar. You'll get far better help from the specialists

Hello Atheist Planet, a warm welcome to the SGL forum, I was not aware that Currys are particularly Astronomically orientated, however, you have done the right thing and come to a place where friendly folk know a thing or two about stars and telescopes, enjoy the forum

Hello and welcome

I agree with the others - go for a specialist shop.

Glad you didn't buy from there - the scope you would have bought would have destroyed your interest in astronomy!
