A good friend of mine that I play music with caused it all. Damion ( readbeard on this site) asked me if I had ever seen Saturn through a telescope. Nope was the reply! And out came his Meade ETX Scope. Wow! What a cool little unit it was and how good was Saturn. Well good enough to get me hooked, and soon I was purchasing my first scope. Packed into my car was new boxes with my GSO 10" DOB. WOW, did I have some great nights with that scope. Then I wanted to have images of what I was seeing and it was time for an upgrade to my LX 200 10". Now I have a handful of images that have cost me around $1500 each LOL. I am hooked for sure and am sure I need an intervention ( ask the Wife). Good on ya Damion, now I am looking for an old people's home with a dome co's I think I am going to be doing this for a while.
