Hellos from Chile

#1

Post by Sotein74 »

Hi, here from Chile... Santiago
im an amateur astronomer... not regular... i come and go from this beautiful hobby...
i was a proud owner of a NEXSTAR 8SE with a CGE mount but since it was too big to use everyday in a little house like mine... finally sold it and bought a NEXSTAR 4SE... of course not the best... and way worse than a 8SE... but still usefull
I was interested in astrophotography but its too expensive so I quit... im just an observer right now

thanks for accepting me here
see u guys
