First few weeks observing....
My Dob was a birthday gift from my wife...she has now reached legend satus among my mates. And since then it's been some great nights observing. The moon put on a great show at my birthday bash...the scope was in use all night (well, until I thought it safer to put it away!), but the kids all had a great look at the moon, and stars. Jupiter turned it on also (for those without the wobbly boot on). Since then I have had a couple of great nights; clusters, Jupiter through the range of new eyepieces, the moon, even Mars in a hazy view). Now I guess I start to get serious and will be looking for more in the night sky. I grabbed the SkyWatcher eyepiece kit, lotsa swapping in and out so I hope now I can see more. While I read up.. any clues for some good sights? And thanks to the forum for a wealth of knowledge (and humour also!).....
