G'day. As best I can figure this is the place to introduce myself.
I've just decided to get out of my armchair and do a little bit of observing.
To enable this somewhat out of character behaviour I have purchased a 10" Newtonian and Dobsonian mount (GSO optics - I most assuredly cannot afford much of what is offered for sale these days). It, the telescope, is somewhat better than my old faithful Tasco 2" refractor which I purchased new some 45 years ago. Mind you it gave me considerable pleasure for a while - providing the seeing was good - but the silly table-top tripod with which it came should have been made illegal before it was allowed to be sold.
In the interim life has rolled on; marriage, children, career, grandchildren - you know how it goes. So, I'm back in the fold (if I was ever in it) even though I've tried to keep up with things from afar by dint of much reading.
Right, enough. I'll go back to trying to align my finder.
