So back on the 25th December 2013 my parents decided to give me a rather interesting Christmas gift, a Skywatcher Skymax 127 SynScan AZ GOTO Telescope. In a later post I talk about this telescope in greater detail but for now you just need to understand that I was very excited to have a telescope and couldn't wait to get out there and view some night sky objects!
Anyway, it is now six weeks later and I still can't believe how much I have learn and seen since that Christmas Day when I tried to use my telescope with 8 AA Batteries and very little knowledge about the night sky. Over those six weeks I think I have driven people at work and facebook mad with pictures and comments but I realised that there are loads more people out there I can bore to death with astronomy talk! Therefore, here I am now starting this blog with an aim to record my journey as I explore the night sky and hopefully inspire other people out there to pick up this hobby which involves standing outside in the freezing cold and spending stupid amounts of money!
