newbie reporting

Post by forsaken »

Hi all,

I've joined as member for sometime and this is my first post, been reading this forum for some months.

As long as my memory can serve me, I am always be fascinated by the sky. I always gaze at the stars when there is a clear sky. (no money to buy anything when I was still young :wink: )

Now that I'm working, I finally started this like what all the master here adviced, binocular. I got myself a nikon action 10x50 and whenever there's a clear sky, I would spray myself with mosquito repellent and lay down on the stone chair at the playground near my house and looking at the wonderful night sky.

Glad that I can finally proceed a step further from naked eyes stargazing.

Finally, thanks in advanced for answering all the silly questions I may throw in future. :D

welcome, forsaken! (sounds wrong...)

Glad you like it here. Ask away any problems you have. Don't worry about it being silly, the silliest question is not asking any ;)
Stargazing ... is an excuse to stay up past bedtime that never fails!

Haha you never stop by and see weixing with his scope at night before?
We meet many passer-bys asking what we were doing. On christmas eve, a guy even bought drinks for weixing after chatting about the sky. lol
