Hi all, I have been reading through this site for quite some time and thought I might sign up now that I've bought a scope at last and can get down to some viewing of my own.
I used to have a Tasco 70mm refractor about 20 years ago that kept me interested for 2 years before moving up to a 5" newtonian with a terrible shaky mount and sloppy controls but was ok for visual observing at low power.
That scope lasted about 3 years before it was tipped over and smashed by my darling nieces and now after about 15 years I have dived into the deep end and come up with an NEQ6 and 10" newtonian f4.72, its my first equatorial mount and is a bit daunting but I shall see how much is involved in time to come.
Im really interested in beginning astrophotography but I have alot more to learn yet, currently I only own a nikon coolpix digital camera for point and shoot holiday snaps!
