Re: Hello From Northern, VA, USA

Take your time on finding a scope. I had an older one that I had purchased for my son, but I decided to get a newer u...

Re: Hello from West Virginia

Yes...it's much easier. With astronomy you need 1) clear skies 2) the right atmosphere 3) no moon (unless looking at the moon) 4) little wind 5) dark skies if you really want to see things...etc. And of course, being winter it's a bit tough to do even if the sky was clear. I think the two hobbies f...

At Last! Started out with pond water in the 1960’s and a Gilbert microscope. In college, was able to use a Zeiss Phase Scope to my hearts content to assist the professor in my Parasitology class for a BA degree. Was extremely fascinated with Protozoa but deemed it was necessary to get on with life a...
