1 year since I got my scope!

It's been 1 year since I got my first and only scope, my 10" GSO dob!

And what a year it's been, turned out to quite busy since I started the site a couple of months after getting my scope

My equipment upgrading since getting the scope has been fairly controlled and constrained, only 1 new eyepiece (the 14mm Meade UWA), and a few mods to the scope - the best being the DSC's and the moonlite CR2 focuser, followed of course by the recent purchase of the EQ platform.

Of course i've been doing a lot more imaging in the last 6 months since getting the ToUcam, as well.

I'm very happy with the dob, and my mods to it since.. the next purchases for me will be the DGM NPB filter, followed by saving up for some premium eyepieces.

Thanks for sharing the memories of the last 12 months with me

Heck,
is that all it has been, it seems like ages.
Yes, it has been a whirlwind twelve months Mike, with all manner of new things.
The site is a credit to you.
Heres looking at another twelve.

Thanks Gary.. the site isn't 12 months old yet, that's coming in a couple of months.. there'll be much more fanfare at that time, more than just this little ol' forum post

This is just 12 months since I got my scope

Geez Mike... Your really just a pup.. But you sound like a pro!!
Good effort..
I think July is the 5th anniversary of me getting my first scope. I'm really a pup too. Ask Gary!
