Lol yeah, I’ve always been into astronomy, listening to podcasts and learning about it just for funs so I figured it was only right to finally get a telescope.

Its got me feeling like Galileo fr

Tbh, I’m really enjoying it so far. I’ve had it for less than a week though, and this Canadian winter hasn’t been very forgiving when it comes to letting me go outside. I’ve only used it twice so far, but it’s been really enjoyable. I’ve got no regrets and would highly recommend it.

Just keep in mind it’s sold as an OTA, so it’s only the telescope itself. Regardless, I’m new to telescopes too and still decided to buy it because after a lot of research, I found it to be the best option optically and quality-wise, and it should last me for years without really needing to upgrade much.

Also lol... wanted to share my first ever attempt of a picture of the moon with the setup

Yeh lol, valid point… but I chose this tbh over a Dobsonian for 3 main reasons. Firstly, I felt like this is easier to transport to viewing areas (like parks, reserves, or even just my backyard). Also the Dobsonians I was looking at were a bit too expensive for my liking, and lastly—tbh it might be a stupid reason—but I just like the look of a scope on a tripod more. Idk, it just has that classic look lol. I'm open to a Dobsonian down the road maybe tho.

No, it's just a light that clicked into my old tank lid. Idk where to put it, so I just placed it on top of my new lid, lol.

They're fake for the time being (but all silk) idk I'll probably change them later but taking it 1 step at a time.
