Hi from Glenrothes

[Chris1987]

Hello,

Name's Chris i'm 26.

I've always taken an intrest in the night sky. Wether it would be watching the sky at night, or more recently Brain Cox's stargazing live. I have just recently took the plunge and purchased a celestron 102 Slt refractor scope.

I do not have a clue how to set it up or even how to find planets or what i even expect to see through it, nor which eyepieces are best for what. I would love to learn how to use the scope to its full potentional and enjoy viewing many objects in the night sky. I just feeling i've hit a brick wall so to speak.

This is very much a brand new hobby for me. I'd love to come along and fuel my intrested more. Also maybe looking into becoming a member and what it includes.

Much thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

We welcome beginners here, and at every meeting there are people willing to help you get started with a scope. Also, three or four times a year, we have telescope workshops where we devote the whole meeting to swapping practical tips.

See you at the Kabin,
Paul.
