Finally bought a telescope

Hi there,

After possibly four months of asking questions on this fantastic site
and missing out on a Bresser Skylux at Lidl by about five minutes, I've
finally taken the plunge and got a Skyhawk
1145 for a £100 from Ace Cameras in Bristol.
Many questions will follow in the next few weeks but at the moment I'd
just like to know
what people have looked at and were they impressed with the results.

Thanks in advance - A rarely excited nearly 44 year old.

First up.

SATURN!!!!!

Next I'd go for the Pleiades, in a nice low-power lens it looks great.

The Moon is at a good point at the moment, have a look at that along the
terminator.
