Let's talk first telescopes.. what was yours?
hi All,
I got my first scope at 62yrs young,
as my SILaw is a keen Astronomer, and has been for many years,
I joined in to sky watching & star gazing
I have been travelling a lot in the outback and country with caravan in tow,
with beautiful clear unpolluted skies, that when I look up, you see everything,
even some unexplained,
I started with a pair of 20 X 50mm Bino's,
then graduated too a travelling 90mm Meade DS 2090 Mak, easy & light with a not so good mount,
have recently upgraded to a 6in S/Watcher refractor, also
a 102mm APO triplet TAK refractor, on a good Vixen mount, safe & sturdy,
all these scopes travel with me at all times
many Tele-Vue & Meade eyepieces, Barlows, and Acc's to make viewing great,
my aim is too dabble in some astrophotography, not big time, for interest
sake, show & tell thingy,
over the few years of having got better gear it is a pleasure to view,
regards,
Peter
