Hello, I'm Grich. Astronomy Enthusiast and general space lover.
A bit about myself: I have been doing astronomy on and off since 1997 when I got my first and only telescope for my 11th Birthday (a two inch newtonian - nothing special). I didn't start getting back into it seriously until recently.
I mostly like to observe Double and Multiple star systems, open and globular clusters and planetary observation. In the last week or so I have been using a modified webcam in my telescope for moon observations (the weather has been bad so I have had only two oppurtunities to test the equipment).
I need to get a new telescope as I have recently felt the urge for more power. Any suggestions? I was thinking about another newtonian or something for astrophotography, but I'm open to suggestions right now.:)
