Re: Officially back into amateur astronomy
Thank you Mark! I have to be honest, if the people here, yourself included, were not so friendly I would never have returned. So it's your own fault, people!Thefatkitty wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 12:00 am Good deal Eric! Nice to have you back; I remember a few years ago when you joined the other forum. Funny how we can never quite give it up...
Hope they work well for you and look forward to your views/thoughts!
All the best,
Very nice words, buddy. It means a lot to me that you guys and girls are literally my best friends. Well, I have a few friends around here, but you guys always make my day with your wit, intelligence and knowledge. And recipes. Lol

Thank you Abb.AbbN wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 2:57 pm I actually started with a pair of Bushnell 10x50 binos long before I ever got my first scope. I still have them and always use them to scan the skies before taking a scope out. And sometimes I just use them or my bigger 20x80 binos rather than a scope
Have fun!
