    Hi folks :)

    I'm John from the UK.

    I've been into astronomy for 40+ years and observing for 35+ starting out with a Tasco 60mm refractor and now having the privilage to own a number of scopes.

    I'm a long time member of a couple of other forums but it's nice to try somewhere new :)

    I'm looking forward to finding out about AstronomyConnect over the coming weeks and months.

    Best wishes,

    John

    I have had the pleasure of viewing through one, you are very lucky :)
    My "dream" refractor is the TMB 203mm f/9.
    I got to spend an hour with one when they were being produced and have wanted one since.
    (Along with the observatory to house it!)
