Always wanted to be an astronomer, since a kid many a day dreamed of having my own powerful telescope and Observatory in the back yard. Came close to getting a Meade telescope a few years back but somehow like before metal detecting was top priority hobby wise.
Recently, Made a trade with a California metal detecting friend swapping a detector for his Telescope. And a good scope to boot beautiful Meade 125 ETX with all the extra lens and computer controler, I'm set perfect astronomy package to get started with infact the scope is pretty advanced should keep me busy for a while and if an upgrade is in order it will be in the far distance future.
Recently made a decision of fazing out metal detecting, Just don't have time anymore especially with a busy work schedule and other priorities its exhausting trying to squeeze in a serious metal detecting hunt. But with Astronomy its going to be different, can enjoy this hobby from the back yard. Plus, Now I can built that observatory always day dreamed about.
Thanks for looking and if anyone else views the Galaxy please do share, Soon to be astronomer looking so forward to learning all I can from the stars above.
