Hi from new member

I am Reynald from W.Australia.
Recently, on impulse, I bought a Telescope: D:80 F:1200 in a big wooden box.
After some hunting found out that it is from 1979 and was made by Meade and some other brand.
after a good clean and maintenance ( the focuser was stiff and the tube was pitted) now it is in good shape.
I had in my junk boxes a motorized mount from a garage sale treasure and used it instead of the original mount.
I am in the process to make a better tripod and looking to control it with a laptop.
It is a new field, previously i was into microscopes (got 4).
Using my microscopes cameras I am experimenting with the telescope, so far the results are not too good, but I am persevering.

As you can see, my evenings are very occupied and I go to bed late LOL.

I already read half of he forum and enjoy every minute of it.

The wealth of knowledge is staggering.

Have a great day

Reynald

Hi Reynald.

Welcome to IIS. It is without doubt one of the best amateur forums on the planet. As you say, the wealth of knowledge is all encompassing.

What sort of observing/science are you interested in?

Stu
