Returning to astronomy
Hi everyone, I’m Shane from Goulburn. Many years ago I owned a 10” LX200R, but when I bought my first home in Sydney I found the block of land wholly unsuited to astronomy, so sadly we parted company.
Fast forward a few years and now I’m in slightly darker Goulburn and have recently bought a GSO 12” dob. I must say it’s a bit different to an automated telescope but the combination of good planetarium software and a Telrad have allowed me to find things I wouldn’t have thought possible.
I also indulged myself and bought my first Televue eyepiece, a 10mm Delos. I can certainly see what all the fuss is about! Just sensational.
Anyway, looking forward to engaging with my fellow dob pushers and I’ll be keeping my eye out for a reasonably close star party.
