Fellow forum members,

I havent formally introduced my self yet even though I have been mucking around on da forum for a few days so I would just like to say G'day cobbers.:gday: I am very young at 36 and have been interested in Astronomy since I was about 7. My first real Scope was a crappy Tasco 60mm with no finder 15-60 times zoom eyepiece and the worst tripod in the world. But with dat scope I saw Jupiters moons, saturns rings, M42 and a few years later found Halleys comet while it was still below naked eye visability, I was chuffed.:D

Any way enough of my dribble, I would like to say this is the best forum I have been on period. And I hope you guys will be kind to me as I am emotionally fragile.:thumbsup:

CHEERS.

Welcome Micko, these Tasco's seem to be very popular for young'ns. And i note you have the same dob as me, which will earn you great favour in the dob fanatics here.

I started out with the same 15-60 tasco. It finally led me here and as well as to the road to financial ruin :( :poke:But its been a hell of a lot of fun along the way :D
