Hello all

welcome to my new blog all about the wonders of astronomy =)

I started astronomy a few years ago after I found my old 76mm no brand Newtonian reflector and pointed it at what I thought was a bright star in the sky, the 'star' had a strange appearance as if it had 2 ears, excited I grabbed my 10 mm eyepiece and sure enough it was Saturn I couldn't believe it after seeing many pictures in books and on television none of it compares to actually seeing it yourself through a telescope.Since then my passion has only grown.

I wanted to up my game and purchased This:

A Skywatcher Explorer 130M with motorised eq2 mount. When I bought this I was able to get money off an eyepiece set found Here which is mazing for the price I paid.

Ok so the rest of this blog is pretty much going to follow my journey in astronomy including any kit upgrades, DIY mods for my telescope, images I have taken and all sorts 

hope you enjoy
