Hey all,

I'm new to this forum and new to astronomy. I have had so many ideas in my life ever since I first looked into the sky and wondered what those things up there were. I'm hoping to be an astronaut ( Still 14, Lots of time in my hands to study like mad.)

While I'm here, I just hope you all will guide me in learning more about astronomy. I'm a newbie after all. Maybe If I do well in exams this year, my dad will buy me a telescope... Maybe? Maybe not?

Hi,
The weather was very bad this few days plus full moon period, so no observation. I'll have one this Friday evening if I came back from work early and weather is good.

Anyway, I just clean my scope mirrors, so need to test out in field.

Have a nice day.
