    Default Hello all!



    My name is Chris and I am new to the forum and to astronomy. I am really excited to learn all I can about my new favorite hobby! I just graduated from my first scope (a Celestron astromaster 70) to what I feel is a scope that will keep me happy for many years (Explore Scientific AR127). I look forward to chatting with you all.
