I am Raihan from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I have been to stargazing for quite sometime. However, i was out of practice for last two years due to my type of work and lost contact with my previous forum. Later, i found that most of my mates from previous forum are already here So i joined in. I have a 8" GSODob (thank you hal2000) and a Oberwerk binocular (thank you bladekeeper) for now. Planning to get a grab n go shortly. Thank you everyone.

John Boron from Las Vegas, NV. I've been an amateur astronomer since late '90s. I have a Questar "7 with a Losmandy G11 and Questar 3.5. I'm starting to get involved with camera guiding and viewing. A bit daunting. I need help. An old friend is helping but it is by phone and FaceTime. I will Prevail!!!
Just an idea... you should start your own thread on your joining up. The best way to do that is follow this link: Welcome Introductions. Click the New Topic to the left just under the forum heading. This way everyone can see it as a new post, and offer their welcomes and hopefully advice as well.
Glad to have you on board
All the best,
Mark
