Evening all,
I have always had a deep curiosity with astronomy however, I have been unable to further explore these interests due to pursuing other goals. Alas, I felt that it was about time that I put my foot down and got into quenching my thirst for stargazing. So far it has been magical; staring at the moon, Jupiter and Saturn. I cannot wait for another full moon and also perhaps when other larger placates outside of our orbit hit opposition. I've also wanted to get into a little of astrophotography. So this is my introduction thread, I hope to gain a lot of knowledge and meet the many people apart of this forum.
thanks!
PS: here is a picture of the moon as seen in early Feb 2016. Taken by my iPad on a dobsonian 10".
