Hi everybody:)

[space lover]

Hi everybody :) As you can see Im new here.
Well, finally joined the Ice in space forums and from what Iv seen so far its excellent and all the people are very friendly.

I got into Astronomy about 1 month ago and I finally bought myself my first telescope. (As my signature says its a trust 66S).

The way I got into Astronomy is not that special or strange at all. I was outside in my garden one night and I looked up at the stars and I said to myself: "Wow, now those look beautiful, I want to get a telescope and learn about space". So I did and here I am :lol:

Well, thats my intro, hope to get to know you all better!

[space lover]

You mean you got a 66s for $49?!?!?

[vindictive666]

yes

originally they were $100+ Au

[Soldant]

**** Smith were selling the same thing for $66. Was my first telescope. Actually I got a lot of use out of it, more than the Optisan junk. I can still remember my first night trying to align faint fuzzy things in the finderscope... actually it probably would have helped if the finder was aligned. I think something happened to it and the housing warped, which screwed everything up. Oh well.

Anyway welcome to IIS :)
