Hi Guys,
Finally purchased our very first telescope, Guan Sheng 8' Dob, from Andrews Communications, which arrives Wednesday. I paid for it today and just over the moon, I'm about to burst I just can't wait.
I also purchased extra's
like a moon filter and nebula filter. Hubby doesn't know yet but I figured, well he wont mind once he starts stargazing
hahaha, I did have a budget but went over by a fraction
.
Anyway, because we've never owed a telescope before, is there anything important we need to know? Is it pretty straight forward to set up and do we need to set it in a special way etc, etc???????
Yes, this is all new to us and I thought, well what better place to get some knowledge....
.
I feel so stupid...LOL but oh well, better to feel stupid, than to wreck the telescope before we even get to enjoy it.
Oh and I also live in the suburbs with light pollution which is why I thought I'd purchase the nebula filter, is there anything else you guys think I should get??? HHHmmmmmm, that was a pretty silly question wasn't it, as I already know the answer to that one...hahahaha.
Well thank you so much guys and look forward to hearing from you all, have a fab, fab week end and I will be sure to take photo's of the scope once I've got it set up
thi s time next week, we should be stargazing with you guys, wooohooooo!!!!!!
