First I want to apologize for the pain in the butt I’ve have been with all the stupid questions I have posted,
It’s been hard for me since I had a stroke, and clinical depression a few years back to understand some of the answers, as most people end up with the same result but do it their own way to get there some very technical….I have never been very good at explaining things on paper even before the stroke always been a hands on person. As for not asking we have found it hard to ask as over the last few years we have been let down by so many people saying they will come to bbq, visits, etc: even up to last hour they phone to say they are not coming wife got very hurt and upset…so when we ask, we wait for people to reply so the time does not upset their family time which is important, or we try and push on alone ,since the stroke I receive very little in the way of pension ( $55 a week ) and so called friends have drifted or dropped us as we cant join in like we used to as we not have the money, also, long car trips to club meets or star parties are hard to get to. The reason I took up the telescope is, I had to find another hobby to do, to keep my brain active as I had to give up golf, ten pin bowling and a few others ..this was a very calm one to take up. I knew I wanted to take photos as I always loved photography , also I knew it was a long learning curve, that part did not matter.
I did a lot of research and saved for about 3 years to get the equipment if I had not brought it then and left it longer I would not have been able to afford it.
Now for the thanks I can a sure you all I appreciate all that you guys and girls have suggested and I should try and do, I’m not a lost case person really just hard to understand things sometimes and as I said we don't like to encroach into peoples live to much
Thanks again
