Hello All... Northeast Oklahoma here!
Hi All...
My name is Dean and I have always been a fan of space and astronomy. I was first hooked as a child by following the Apollo missions.
I am in the market for a good beginner telescope and will gladly take some recommendations!
I look forward to getting to know everyone.
Dean.
