My new toysPosted By James K. Burke |
Hello everyone. I've been interested in astronomy since I watched the Apollo 11 landing on TV when the rest of my family was sleeping. I've done lots of reading over the years and looked at the sky whenever possible with binoculars, a few refractors and a 125 ETX. Now I've gone and bought a TOA 130 and an FS-78. I can figure out most of what I need to do to look through the scopes when they arrive, but figure I should probably find someone in the area who could walk me through the finer points of polar alignment and mounting the scopes properly.
I've tried to contact the local astronomy club but have heard no replies. I'd like to hear from anyone with experience in the above processes for some guidance.
I'm in Edmonton, Alberta.
Thanks, Kevin
