Finally got a Dobson-design telescope   Message List

Hello Northstar Group!

It was frustrating to see all your announcements about meetings and
celestial events that we couldn't really appreciate without a decent
telescope. My sister gave me a copy of Astronomy magazine for
Christmas and they had a good review of several scopes for kids, one
reviewed was the Skyquest Orion XT8 and I couldn't resist ordering one
for us. Now we can join you in seeing the celestial delights you're
always talking about!

I'm looking forward to using this new scope and eventually meeting you
all in a warmer season for a night of star gazing.

Best regards,

Steve
