Hello everyone. My name is Jay, and I'm rather new to the hobby. I started late last winter/early spring and have really found a hobby that I am enjoying and that I can share with my teenage son.
I am using an XT 8 by Orion and a XT 6 by Orion. The 8 has a telrad along with the stock finder scope. I also have a finder scope that we use for viewing the moon (an old, old one from when I was born in the 1960's that was my father's).
I'm joining here to just expand my knowledge of people in the hobby locally and to have a way to increase my own learning. I'm a teacher and I know one of the best ways to learn is by doing and from those who have already done and know. So I hope to get to know many of you and to reap from your knowledge. So hear is to clear skies! _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
