Welcome to 2011

I have decided to have a spring clean and consolidate my Astronomy and Photography Blog activities.  As both of these are journeys and hobbies it makes sense to have them in one place and I think it is more interesting for the visitor. So on Astronomy what equipment do I have.  As a total beginner to Astronomy I got a Sky Watcher 8 inch Dobsonian telescope after much research and again with the Poorman budget in mind.  I have not been disappointed but there has been limitations.

I wanted something that was quick to set up and easy to use and this scope fulfilled that need.  Young kids get impatient waiting to see things in the cold.
