First, thank you so much for the welcome and web sites. I wish I had
subscribed here before buying a telescope! There certainly is a lot of valuable information on this newsgroup. I'm enjoying the telescope although I suspect it is what most sites refer to as a department store telescope as I haven't seen Galileo telescopes mentioned amongst the better quality beginning ones. I've been doing a lot of reading including the Sky and Telescope web site. What a great site! Last night I finally got the knack of using the finder scope so had a little more success. It has a little red light in it. We viewed the moon and Mars as well as practised aiming the telescope. We have two pairs of binoculars (10 x 25; 10-30 X 50) that really helped although the larger pair was of more help than the smaller pair. Anyway, we are having fun and learning! Someone mentioned they had been to Galileo's web site looking for telescopes. I've googled for the site with no success and it isn't in the literature I have. Would anyone know what it is off hand? TIA |
