Hi all..
not much at introductions so...
New to astronomy, always loved to identify Venus at night, how it is always early and bright at sunset and to point out to friends that planets don't twinkle, Betelgeuse (in case it explodes) and the silent witness of the moon.
Had people show me telescope as a child but very difficult to learn back then and images were so so.

But during Covid I bought a small, old SCT and started to learn more.
I have to agree with redeye64, that first view of Saturn is a real hook.
Anyway have been researching and know the scope I want, so 5 posts before I can advertise for one.

p.s. a friend already gave me an old "Julius Sumner-Miller Memorial" 10" home-made dobson which I am restoring, (which I should share with him, lucky it's big).
If anyone has any info, can't find anything on Google.
