HI Guys and gals. My name is Vicki and I am a total Astronomy virgin. I am yet to look through a telescope (have been exploring with Bino's).
I have just placed my order today for an 8" DOB to give to my son for his 10th B'day (he is in love with space). I have spent tha last few weeks perusing this forum and getting great help. After much conflicting advice from people about what our first scope should be we finally settled on the DOB to begin with but I know as my...cough...OUR addiction grows (as it has in just a few weeks) i know i will upgrade to a scope capable for great astro photography (I am a Photographer).
I look foward to all your help and i know i will enjoy exploring the world beyond our own.
Vicki
