Ummm... I think it was a Google search, looking for a second hand telescope to purchase.

Have found this to be a superb site. And the people are so much more friendly than over at Whirlpool!

[Morton]

Bing search for "stargazing sites near melbourne", fourth result was a thread on this forum :)

[Benjamin]

Googled various questions about equipment and eyepieces, trying to get started with amateur astronomy (most local club meetings occur on nights I'm working: Saturdays!). Wonderful forum though and extremely helpful.

[deathstar]

Internet search (not sure if it was via Google or something else).
That was many years ago when I was trying to determine which first scope to go for if ever I had the chance to get one. The refractor vs dob dilemma. Time and money (or lack of them) always got in the way. But I'm retired now. Different scenario.

:thumbsup: definitely via a Google search. After 40 years in the wilderness I decided to return to one of my life's great loves, no not Felicity, Astronomy!
My search for a new telescope brushed Iceinspace and here I am.
Compared to the late 1960s where telescopes were more expensive in real terms and the choice limited today is a supermarket of scopes. Of course there is a down side, "which one?"

Was researching collimation and telescope alignment. Found much more than I bargained for. :-)

[Bombardon]

Through Mike Salway's beautiful calendar and photos. I have found the calendar a great feature and day to day reminder for the past two years. Found many articles useful and love the classifieds. Eugene

[Luke.]

I can't exactly remember but it was probably a general astro google search which a thread here would have been about.

[aland]

The guys at the Bintel Shop gave me the Heads Up! when I picked up my 12inch Light Bucket .

[Red_Dog]

Think l was lead here via Cloudy nights forum which l am eternally thankfull for.
The apo guys on CN are a bunch of self fulfilling chest beaters. About as nice as l can put it.
The info, links and offers l received on my first post here on IIS were first class and undeniably friendly and constructive.
I'm here to stay and l hope l can contribute in any way.

[yoda776]

My sentiments exactly. I have a lot to learn (aren't we always throughout life?). Also happy to give the knowledge i have and help out where i can. Like the help when you ask a quesrion. Someone is always happy to offer advice or an opinion.

[Orionskies]

I think I was searching for how to align my scope to the SCP and I probably wanted more info in general about the Southern hemisphere skies.
